FC5t3 error: mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
I've run linux on laptops for years, but with very superficial knowledge:
I never had to learn how to fix problems, cause I never had problems...
...until my latest laptop. I installed FC2 and it worked fine. I managed
to get FC4 to install after much work, but it wouldn't boot, so I tried
upgrading to FC5test3. Successful install, but it still won't boot.
The error(s) are "Unable to access resume device" on my swap partition
and "mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'" even if I eliminate
the swap partition from /etc/fstab.
Here's the exact error I get when I try to boot.
Tabbed entries only show up when I boot without the quiet flag.
(this was copied from the screen... is it written to a file somewhere?)

Here's what things look like from rescue mode:

Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
So it seems like /root trying to be mounted on /dev ... maybe
because fdisk understands my swap setup but e2label doesn't?
I'd appreciate any tips on how to get things to work.
(dmesg output can be supplied, but I didn't see anything helpful in it.)
Oh, and there may also be some odd duplications in df and /etc/mtab:
