boot with disk again in rescue mode
check logs (I think <Control><Alt><F3> but could be <Control><Alt><F4>)
and see if the storage is /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda - many storage
devices (especially SATA) will change with the newer kernels).
chroot to installation (chroot /mnt/sysimage)
if that is it...edit /etc/fstab to reflect the changes...
probably not necessary but install grub loader just in case...
grub-install /dev/sda # again assuming that your hard drive is
# now /dev/sda and not /dev/hda)
reboot
