This is usually the result of specifying incorrect filesystem parameters
to the boot loader.  Are you keeping in mind the array-like numbering
scheme (012345...) for disk partitions when configuring grub?  Are you 
remembering to turn that logic off and name your root partition as the OS 
understands it for the kernel parameter 'root='?
