Can you boot from a live CD and examine the current filesystem? What you want to do is find out if the drives are still being "seen" the way they once were.
Your '/dev/sdb' might now look like '/dev/sda', if you follow my drift. Ultimately, your bootloader is probably not pointing to your linux installation. First things first...boot from live CD, mount your old / file system, examine /etc/fstab and see what it expects as a device...i.e.) sdb, hdb, etc. Post the result for us : ) |

I might be wrong, but I think his /boot partition is being recognized as a different disk, now. |
