Boot your 2.6.26 kernel and try changing your fstab to use the UUID or
label of the drive. Once booted into 2.6.30 you can probably change
your fstab back to the appropriate device.
I have noticed changes to older drives in particular. For me it seems
Etch, Lenny and Squeeze have all identified an old IDE DVD-RW drive
differently (something like /dev/hd#, /dev/sd# and /dev/sr0
respectively). I have noticed similar changes with some of my hard
drives but it's never affected my root partition so always just fixed
after boot.
