That is also my understanding.

Things you can check....
- When at the grub prompt move over the debian line and press 'e' to sanity
check the generated grub entry.
- Replace 'root=UUID=...' with 'root=(hd0,1)', which I think will point to the
first partition of the first disk, when doing the 'e'dit above. I don't think
it is this since it appears the debian initrd environment is being found,
starting, and then not finding the disk when trying to switch.
- In the same 'e'dit screen add in the lines taken from the original debian
entry to determine if any are required.
Good luck,
