It finds grub, and /boot, and loads the kernel from boot.  Then when it 
goes to mount /dev/hda6 (the root partition) it says something about not 
being able to find the ext3 filesystem.  Then it complains about not 
being able to find the driver to mount the NTFS partition, then 
something about not being able to mount the FAT partition (which should 
be gone now), then a finale of a Kernel panic.

So I'm starting to think, is the answer that I need to reinstall grub 
when I remove the partition?
