I think that in terms or Kernel Update rpm2deb facility it's slighly dangeorus, but in fact this can be several problems one at the time, one it's that the root partition couldn't be mounted because the /etc/fstab dosn't point to the right partition, another it's the type of hardisk, if you know what partition is, then in the boot screen of grub edit the kernel line and add the right partition, for example kernel /boot/webdeveloper2.6.21.1 root=/dev/sda5 vga=791 where sda5 it's the right partition, if it doesn't work then might be that the kernel couldn't detect properly your hard drive (something strange ut could happen), what kind of disk is?
