I'm not sure whether this is causing your problem, but the problem we
need to solve is that the system isn't booting with the squeeze
kernel. Based on my other messages in this thread, e.g., [1], I'm now
wondering whether the appropriate ums-* kernel module for your USB
enclosure isn't being installed in your initramfs, so the root file
system never becomes available. To test this idea, try adding all the
ums-* modules to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, i.e.,

ums-alauda
ums-cypress
ums-datafab
...

Then rebuild the initramfs for squeeze. The command will be something like

sudo update-initramfs -k 2.6.32-5-ixp4xx -u

and reboot. If it fails, then you can recover by reinstalling your
lenny imiage again.
