I've moved my system to a new hard drive as described at http://oreilly.com/pub/h/2504 , but I'm having issues booting. GRUB starts the kernel okay, which runs fine until it tries to mount the root drive. It does the "Waiting 10s for /dev/whatever" bit and finds it, but then mount complains "No such file or directory", which is ridiculous, since both it and /new_root/ are clearly there.
This seems to be a problem with mount and /dev--I can mount /bin/ls on /new_root (or at least try to without mount complaining about its existence, though it does freeze), but I can't try anything in /dev, e.g. mounting /dev/zero also returns "No such file or directory", though it should return "/dev/zero is not a block device" based on what it does in my other system.
What's going on?
