Just noticed that I forgot to inform you about the solved issue:

Whenever I run df, I get `/dev/.static/dev': Permission denied: what might be the problem? the cure?
I'm using grml 0.7 hd installation.
I'm aware of this problem but not yet sure who is responsible for it. Looks like a udev problem.
If you are running the 'df' as user root you won't notice the problem. To fix the issue for normal users as well just manually invoke 'umount /dev/.static/dev'.
The issue is on my todolist and I'll provide a fix soon.
Make sure you have a recent version of the initscripts, sysvinit and grml-etc packages. Then make sure /etc/mtab is *not* a symlink to /proc/mounts anymore:
# rm /etc/mtab ; cp /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
Now the "/dev/.static/dev: Permission denied" shouldn't be present anymore (at least on next reboot).
HTH && regards, -mika-
