Just for fun in a ten minute diagnostic test that could shed light on
the situation, why don't you boot a live CD, hopefully one with a
kernel somewhat similar to the one on your new harddrive, mount the hard
drive root partition somewhere, chroot to that mount, and then run
mount -a. I bet you'd get a lot of information.
If all of the above works right, then I'd imagine your problem is either
in your bootloader or your kernel. If some of the above fails, that
tells you where to apply your Troubleshooting Foo.
