Solved. The installer has a bug.

I have a separate boot partition which the installer did not mount or
perhaps unmounted (it is in /etc/fstab)

Anyway:
* The new kernel was installed in the mountpoint directory.
* The initrd image was missing from the grub menu.lst
* The hd(0,0) line was wrong

Running grub-install did give an error, so I expect it also gave an
error on install which could have been caught.
