At a wild guess, looks like your initial ramdisk (initrd) is out of
date. I forget how to rebuild it automatically (since I usually end up
doing it by hand) but I'm sure you can figure it out (the initrd is an
ext2 disk image which you can mount using the loopback option and it's
probably gzipped too, can't remember).
