I had this problem. My host install is FC3 - LFS Book 6.0
I think that at some time in the past one of my fedora installations had installed a logical volume manager, writing a part of a line in grub.conf something like "root=/Log00/Vol00" or something like. That entry is no longer there but when I tried boot my new lfskernel on what had been that partition but now reads a simple /dev/hda11, I received the above message.
I could chroot into my new installation or visit it using an FC3 rescue disk, but not boot it.
I tried many things but eventually only solved the problem by using e2fsprogs-1.36 and compiling without the --disable-evms option. Then, first boot -- Magic! The e2fsprogs-1.36 Release Notes have some quite unkind things to say about fedora.
