I don't know what's going on, but I would try to manually boot the Debian
kernel from GRUB2 console. As you're using GRUB2 from Ubuntu, you could
try these steps:

Maybe what can't find is the root disk/partition (hdx,x).
Besides, it can be an error coming from GRUB2 itself, that's why I still
suggest that you try to boot your Debian system from SuperGrub2Disk which
is distribution-unaware.
As a side note, when using a multi-boot configuration I prefer to install
the bootloader of every operating system inside its own partition,
whether possible (windows does not allow this, I guess, it puts its NT
loader on the MBR we like it or not). But on linux and bsd systems you
can install both, Ubuntu and Debian, and each of them with their own
GRUB2.
