The new kernel is probably using libata instead of the old IDE drivers,
which means that your hard disk is called /dev/sda rather than /dev/hda.
You should use labels or UUIDs in /etc/fstab if you want to use both the
old and the new kernel. The linux-base package from sid can help you
with the conversion.

It is always a good idea to have a rescue disk at hand.

Get it from packages.debian.org if you don't want an entry for sid in
your sources.list. You have to install the libuuid-perl and
libapt-pkg-perl packages, since linux-base depends on them.
