i think that "sda" option might be removed for newer kernels and that you
should go along
with "hdx"...when you boot and you get the grub screen choose the entry of
your new kernel
and type "e" so that you can edit that entry...then you have to choose the
appropriate root
partition to boot with...i think that pressing "tab" button will show you
the available options even
when you're in edit mode...otherwise you should boot for example with the
new knoppix livecd and
see how your partitions are recognized...
