as a follow up to why it was necessary to issue the following command at
the grub command prompt:

> Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Note that you are telling grub to find the root file system on drive hd0
and partition 0. The grub.conf file provided has root set to drive hd2
and partition 0. It appears that something changed the order of your
drive numbering (e.g. you moved the cable that attached you boot drive
from IDE1 to IDE0 when you installed the new CPU).
