First of all: this is the wrong list for this question; the correct list would be debian-user. It looks like you have switched from a 2.4 kernel to a 2.6 kernel. You may want to read: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#s-upgrade-to-2.6 A possible reason for the problem is that the root partition is no longer /dev/hda2, but is now /dev/sda2. Use the options to edit lines the grub configuration before booting to try this. You will also have to change your /etc/fstab.
