Check out your entries of /boot/grub/menu.lst and make sure, your ramdisk
(initrd) is setup correctly and existing. Check out your entry for the root
filesystem (the "/"), it should point to the correct partition.
And last but not least: It might be necessary to build a new initrd. The
easiest way is to boot with the latest running kernel and reinstalling the
required kernel, watching the installation process at any errors.
Try this, if it not works, come back again and I will be pleased to help you.
