you are posting to the wrong ml,
debian-security has _nothing_ to do with early boot!
and the actual error message is just above from what you pasted.

do you run latest udev 0.093-1 version? (if not upgrade)
do you pass the correct boot param in grub root=/dev/sdaX or /dev/hdaX
presumambly.
is your root device created?
check ls $ROOT in rescue console.
if not and with wrong udev and old 2.6.15 use
modprobe ide-disk

please take the effort to research correct ml debian-user-$lang
or file a bug against initramfs-tools if the problem persists.
