AFAIR the problem was something related to initrd creation. When you install
the new kernel under wheezy, the initrd is created from within the old
kernel. It was many years ago though.
One problem I had was pivotroot, switch_root or alike. But in all other
cases it worked fine. No idea why in this case it created not working
initrd
