Check on your /boot/grub.config. The above error message is typically
seen when the root= parameter points to a symbolic disk label instead of a
specific disk such as /dev/hda1. I'm not sure what the procedure for
updating where the label points (possibly a mkinitrd) because I normally
change the grub.conf to point to a specific disk.
