Comments/Problems:
The install seemed to go fine until it wasn't able to install the bootloader, then, of course, it wouldn't boot.
Very strange, as squeeze installed fine around a month ago. However at that time, I couldn't get grub2 to recognize
and boot lenny, so uninstalled it. I really like the looks of squeeze. I was excited to try it again, because I
installed kernel 2.6.32 bpo on lenny, and it requires the uuid's of the partitions, and so might work with grub2 better.
Thanks for any help and/or recommendations.
