If you want the new partition to be the bootable one, you need to use
e2label to give it whatever the label was of the original partition, and
then remove the label of the original partition.

The other thing you may want to check would be /boot/grub/device.map.
Make sure the grub devices match the linux devices, and make sure
that /etc/grub.conf is pointing to the right device.
