Does that tickle your memory? :-)

The system is trying to find a partition labeled "/" for root and it
can't find one. Try booting in rescue mode and modifying your
/etc/fstab to point at the device name ("/dev/hdax") instead of the
label or make sure you run e2label on the partition to give it a "/"
label:
# e2label /dev/hdax /
You may be able to bypass this error by giving a "root=/dev/hdax" option
to the boot command line. That should get you up so you can fix it
properly (using the "root=" option should prevent you from having to
boot in rescue mode).
