I just upgraded a socket 939 MB to an Athelon 5000 socket AM2 so I can use
AMD-V, but, for some strange reason, the HD device IDs seem to have changed
(same 250GB SATA HD - the original root partition is not found). The disk
shows fine in Repair System Partition Manager, .. and the IDs look similar,
but I cannot figure out a way to compare them to the entries in fstab.

I don't understand why not. Just display the old entries and the actual,
current IDs, and compare them letter by letter. Write or print them in a
paper, cross each letter... I don't see the problem.

Huh? There is no way TO display the current IDs, much less compare them.

Just edit fstab in an editor, and display the IDs by any method you
choose. For example:

ls /dev/disk/by-id/

Huh again? by-id does not display the disk IDs by manufacturer, .. that
was the original question.
