Thanks.  I figured there was at least SOMETHING to
try short of rebuilding the filesystem.   I'll try 
it tonight or this weekend (system is at home).

BTW, I had one other idea.  Boot in recovery mode,
  mv /mnt/dev /mnt/dev_old
  mkdir /dev
  <fix permissions>
  <create bare minimum number of devices for boot>
  <or copy from /dev_old>
  reboot

Then I'll just have 2 messed up files that I can't 
delete, but at least a working system.  

Of course, I may be best off back up my /, /root,
and /boot directories and reloading RH 7.0 (i.e.,
the Microsoft solution).

the -F will force an fsck on reboot.

Occasionally your car would just die for no reason, and 
you'd have to restart it, but you'd just accept this.
