I did keep the old contents of /boot. So I guess the recommended procedure 
would be to have different /boot partitions for different flavors of 
linux. I'll try it later. It still worries me that running grub-install 
from my running new Debian system was unable to fix the problem and that 
running grub-install from my old RedHat did work and also allowed me to 
boot Debian.
Thanks,
