Well, I finally found the answer but it's very odd. I don't think it should work but it does. I put the "wrong" root entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst. All previous kernels have had /dev/hdb9 but this kernel seems to need /dev/hdb10. Here is the relevant section of the file: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.25-2-amd64 root (hd1,9) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-amd64 root=/dev/hdb10 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.25-2-amd64 (recovery mode) root (hd1,9) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-amd64 root=/dev/hdb10 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.23-1-amd64 root (hd1,9) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23-1-amd64 root=/dev/hdb9 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.23-1-amd64 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.23-1-amd64 (recovery mode) root (hd1,9) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23-1-amd64 root=/dev/hdb9 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.23-1-amd64 I don't understand this at all.
