from the output it looks like you are mounting by label? What if you
edit fstab to point to the device name /dev/hd?? instead of

Many thanks for this suggestion, however following it makes no
difference, except in the trivia that it says "failed to open the
device '/dev/hda3': No such file or directory" (instead of
"LABEL=...").
If you try to boot, after the failure to check rootfs, it should dump
you to a recovery console, what happens if you issue ls /dev ?
About 13 items. Is this unlucky?

Also check dmesg?
I don't think this gives any clues:
