Late on Dec. 25 I rebooted my sid system and my home directory is no
longer visible to my system even to Grub. It contains my home
directory. An Ubuntu 8.10 live CD sees it just fine. I normally keep
everything updated unless apt-listbugs shows.

FWIW it's /dev/hda10 on a 40GB drive. The / directory which is
/dev/hda9 is completely visible and boots just fine.

Is anyone aware of any changes at that time that would cause this?

Any diagnostic ideas?

What filesystem is it?
What is the output of 'mount /dev/hda10' on the sid system?
Try running 'fsck /dev/hda10' on the Ubuntu system.
