I had that same message. After I installed LInux I used the MS-DOS FDISK to make a FAT partition from the freespace on my drive, that just really messed soemthing up. People recommended to just wipe and reinstall. Next time I just let Linux install do all the partitioning.

no, don't do that! what simply happened is that the "/" partition changed numbers, play around by booting from your rescue disk or install cd and messing with lilo (or grub) to point it to the new number of your root partition, and then edit the /etc/inittab to accomodate for the shift in the rest of the partitions, alot easier than a clean reinstall
