By "still cannot boot" what stopped it booting before this update?
That kernel boots for me, I didn't have to change anything to make it
boot.

Using the above grub.conf stanza for that kernel? Your sample grub.conf
is an exact copy of the file? There's no typing errors in the copy you
e-mailed?
By the way: CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD, NOW! You've just shown the world the
hashsum for it, and that may be enough to crack it.

*Why* does using LABEL=/ cause it to use /dev/sdb? Do you have two
drives, is "/" the right label?
Try the following command to see what label is on /dev/sda8:
e2label /deb/sda8

This is odd. Does using "/dev/sda8" definitely work for the other
kernel?
