The grub configuration looks alright, and basically untouched from defaults. But what you said about looking as if old modules were being loaded got me thinking, so I recreated the initramfs image.. update-initramfs -d -k 3.2.0-4-686-pae update-initramfs -c -k 3.2.0-4-686-pae and now jfs is working. So that means that the new kernel build isn't the problem as I had believed. Not sure why the normal package upgrade process wasn't creating/updating the initramfs image properly, but it could certainly be grub-legacy at fault, if it isn't due to something unique about this particular system's configuration (it's been dist-upgraded many times, starting as etch or sarge). This bug report can be closed. If I find time to do some more investigation later and determine grub-legacy to be the actual culprit I'll file a bug report against that package.
