Each time it reboots I have to manually add it back in with the change master to ... command. if you do NOT have 'skip-slave-start' in the my.cnf replication starts automatically, what is the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G after a reboot? if you do not have an empty set and SQL and IO thread are NOT running you probably have 'skip-slave-start' in the config file.
