What is that? Same disk with different partition tables? Burried your
part. table somehow?

That's the autoprobing. Seems like your filesystem has not been
recognized.

What is that? What does the kernel look on "/dev/hda46"? Try with
root=/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part

Huch, what is 3:46?

It has mounted the wrong partition. Get a rescue system (you can use the
install disk as a such one, second console) to make researches.
