Yes, kernel-smp would change grub, but we know what it does, and so far 
it's done things right.
So, you are still having this problem even *after* running the 
grub-install with no errors.  That's strange.  I thought the complaint 
was that you were having to do that after doing this update.
If that is the case, the only time's I've seen this error's is when 
people change drives somehow.  But that usually only happens on scsi 
drives.
Are these drives all just on normal ide?  Have you double checked to 
make sure the bios isn't trying to boot of the wrong disk, whether the 
partition is marked bootable or not?

If you've double checked all those questions above, can you send us the 
grub.conf as well as the output of
   cat /proc/partitions

Thanks
Troy
