This kind of error usually indicates that the root partition
could not be mounted for some reason. Perhaps because
some drivers are missing from your initrd image. Or perhaps
because the devices have been reordered or renamed
for some reason. Are there any other logs before the
pivot_root message that might shed some light on this?
