2.6.23 still boots normally.

Google shows a number of people with similar problems, mainly on Ubuntu.
I also found a Debian recommendation to modify /etc/fstab in order to

No, I'm using grub.

Uh-oh, speaking of initrds: I forgot that in my previous message; you
should probably rebuild it if you change your fstab to labels or UUIDs.
