In case this helps the thread, I've had the same problem, with the same
error message, when trying to install a manually-compiled 2.6.6 kernel on
a laptop running a 2.2.20 kernel obtained from a CDROM install. That
system was using lilo, not grub. The entries in fstab and lilo.conf seemed
to be indicating the correct partitions for /. I didn't solve it.
