Yeah, that's a problem then.
He should really boot from something else ;-)
Even if you get it working, you never know if a kernel-update ruins your
setup. ("We told you so").
If you can't boot it with the default kernel and default install, forget
about it and look for something else.
Maybe insert a little SSD-card with a PATA adapter to install /boot on it.
Or a bigger SSD for the whole system, to have only data on the big slice.
cheers,
Rainer
