Just stabbing here - but you did not, in fact, change the partition number
of root in the process - did you? In other words - are edits to /etc/fstab
needed? If that's the case, simply boot with the rescue disk you made as
part of your install and re-mount / as rw and edit /etc/fstab.
Cheers (and good luck)
