The removed duplication looks like an improvement to me, and so does the fixed timestamp (the old values can't be right, assuming the core of the old kernel doesn't actually boot for 497 days before it comes to the root filesystem :)). One thing that came up with one of my recent upgrades was the md subsystem interfering with /dev/root, and that kind of a problem isn't mentioned in the generic instructions. Does /dev/root point to the right device (same major:minor as /dev/sda2) in your case? -- 2.
