No, it was not.

This exactly was not the case - and fixed my problem. Shame on me.

I still think it's strange that the old grub could run 3.2.0-3 but not 
3.2.0-4. That's why the kernel was my first suspect.

Unfortunately this means that I may have to update grub with each 
release (or kernel?) upgrade on a couple of servers (~ 1000), 
automatically choosing the proper boot device, which is normally handled 
for me by FAI at install time and may be cumbersome eg. for software RAIDs.

Please close this bug. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,
	Christopher
