After upgrading my hard drive with a new partition scheme I'm getting a kernel panic. On the old drive I had the following partition scheme:
/dev/hda1 NTFS
/dev/hda2 EXT2 /boot
/dev/hda3 SWAP
/dev/hda4 ReiserFS /

New scheme:
/dev/hda1 NTFS
/dev/hda2 EXT2 /boot
/dev/hda3 SWAP
/dev/hda5 ReiserFS /
/dev/hda6 EXT3 /mnt/mp3

Grub is installed and boots the windows partition fine. The kernel boots but gives a bunch of references to the old /dev/hda4 and then panics. I have updated /etc/fstab to reflect the change in root partitions but I think I need to make more changes elsewhere. I shouldn't need to recompile the kernel after doing this?? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Added root=/dev/hda5 to grub.conf
