New kernels locate devices differently. It detected your hard-disk as hde,
not hda. Either switch to using labels, since labels are designed to avoid
these problems, or change references to hda to hde. Detailed instructions
below.
Boot from a floppy/usb-key/cd-rom (eg knoppnix). Mount your hard disk.
Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. Change
# kopt=root=/dev/hda3 ro
to
# kopt=root=/dev/hde7 ro
or
# root=LABEL=/xxx ro
Since grub seems to find the right hard disk, so you probably don't want to
change the following line
# groot=(hd0,2)
run update-grub
Edit /etc/fstab (either change hda to hde or switch to using labels)
umount, and reboot
See the thread at http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/09/msg02837.html
for more info on labels.
