Well, based on my most resent experiences with doing this very thing,
I am pretty sure the problems lie in the mount options in /etc/fstab.
just change /etc/fstab to be "defaults" for your old root partition
before you mount it.  I ran into some problems with the nodev that
drove me nuts until I actually _looked_ at the mount options.  That
was a couple minutes filled with very colorful language!
