It might be just me, as I have never seen/heard of a system set up
that way. I have always put my HD's on the promary IDE interfaces (A
& B) and the CD/DVD's on the secondary IDE interfaces (C & D). It may
or may not be necessary but that is how I always have seen it done.

title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-2-686

Grub did the 2 --> Lines? The root line says hdb and the kernel line
says hdd. No wonder it won't boot. Yet the older kernels boot up with
the same (wrong looking) root and kernel lines, so I am wrong. I have
not yet upgraded any of my sid partitions to the 2.6.22-2 kernel.
Maybe I have this problem to look forward to or maybe I should wait
till it (whatever 'it' is) gets fixed.
Sorry I could not help.
