OK, but what's the output of mount?

/lib/init/rw/rootdev is a temporary device node created by 
/etc/init.d/checkroot.sh for fsck. It means there's probably something 
wrong with /etc/fstab. Try this on both kernels:

grep UUID /etc/fstab | while read dev other ; do sudo findfs $dev ; done

It should give you the device files of all file systems that should be 
mounted by UUID.

Also try blkid on both kernels to check if they both see the same UUIDs.

A manual fsck doesn't hurt and you'd know for sure.
