Yep; had the same Prob last night.

My /boot/grub/menu.lst was wrong and my /etc/fstab.

There wasn´t udev in all files and the path to kernel was wrong.

(hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda1 devfs=nomount
initrd /boot/initrd26.img


and in fstab change the /dev/discs/discX/partY in /dev/hdaY

and by the way, watch out for the used network-card drivers. they got
lost during first kernel update.
i fixed it by adding he 8379too in rc.conf -> Modules
