In Linux, devices are represented by files in the /dev directory, and the files used to access IDE drives and SCSI drives are named differently (hdX for IDE, and sdX for SCSI), so the kernel is expecting the root filesystem to be on hda1, for example, while it's really on sda1. You'll have to reinstall the bootloader - if you're new to Linux, see if the install disk you used for your distribution has a repair mode or something like that where it can write the bootloader to disk without having to reinstall everything.
