Do you research der physik? Maybe you installed a new kernel or before
you did not use initrd and now it is expecting to find the initrd
entry in your boot loader but you don't have it. Try a rescue disk and
then mount your root filesystem with chroot. Also can try at boot
prompt "root=/dev/hda2" for example where your root partition lives.

Like I said, it sometimes works and sometimes fails. So there can't be
anything systematically wrong.
