Cannot run debian after installing it. Doesnot appear in grub

I just installed debian squeeze and at finish it asked me if it write the MBR with gurb.
I say yes, but after restarintg, squeeze doesnot appear in grub.
I also have debian lenny in the same PC.

I installed debian squeeze in

Code:

/dev/sda9: UUID="85383eab-fce7-450b-b713-c6bdfd57f53a" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"

I try to add it to menu.lst this way:

Code:

title		Debian GNU/Linux, Squeeze kernel 2.6.32
root		(hd0,8)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 root= UUID=85383eab-fce7-450b-b713-c6bdfd57f53a ro quiet
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-amd64

When I choose it from grub menu, seems to run, but in 5,6 seconds it stoped and tell me doesnot find some files, like /proc, /etc/fstab, etc...
Files I have in /boot (in squeeze particion) are:

Code:

 initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-amd64.bak
grub			       System.map-2.6.32-trunk-amd64
initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-amd64  vmlinuz-2.6.32-trunk-amd64

I also tried SGD and when I choose squeeze, appear a black screen with promt

Code:

GRUB>

How can I run squeeze I just installed.
Other ideas?

I have it solved.
I just made a stupid error

I boot it adding this to menu.lst

Code:

title      Debian GNU/Linux, Squeeze kernel 2.6.30.0
root      (hd0,8)
kernel      /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 root=UUID=85383eab-fce7-450b-b713-c6bdfd57f53a ro quiet
initrd      /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-amd64

You can see above, I have put

Code:

kernel      /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 root= UUID=85383eab-fce7-450b-b713-c6bdfd57f53a ro quiet

Diferents is in the space before UUID

Now I can boot squeeze
