Copied my Arch root partition to a new one but I can't boot [SOLVED]

Question

I booted to my arch live cd and copied my Arch / partition (/dev/sda1) to an empty partition (/dev/sda9) via a cp -a command.  The new partition should now contains an exact copy of my old root partition.  I also modified the /etc/fstab in the new partition to reflect the new block device for the root filesystem.  I also added a line to my menu.lst to boot it.  I didn't do something right because I get a kernel panic when grub boots into the new partition.
menu.lst entry:
title Arch Testing
root (hd0,8)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda9 ro quiet vga=773 acpi_enforce_resources=lax vga=773
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
Ideas?
EDIT: Just read this wiki page
The fix as root:
mount /dev/sda9 /mnt
cd /mnt/dev
rm console ; mknod -m 600 console c 5 1
rm null ; mknod -m 666 null c 1 3
rm zero ; mknod -m 666 zero c 1 5
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys
cd /
chroot /mnt /bin/bash
mkinitcpio -p kernel26

Answer 1

Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID).  That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.
See "Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID"
