I had this problem too and solved it like this:
When booting (with lilo) I appended root=/dev/sda1 (my root device under
2.4 was hda1) and checked if the kernel was able to mount the root
device. After successfully mounting the root device I booted up a Kernel
2.4 and changed the /etc/fstab from /dev/hdx to /dev/sdx everywhere
(please make a boot disk and backup your old fstab before!!!).
Voila booting Kernel 2.6 worked.

Hi Martin,
I have installed kernel 2.6.8-2 686 on a newly
installed sarge machine, P4 on
an Asus P5P800, on startup the kernel panics saying
/dev/console not found,
however /dev/console exists, how can this situation
be rectified.
Have you just upgraded from a 2.4.27 to 2.6 kernel? Do
you have SATA disks? The change of SATA drivers from
the ide to SCSI layer caused similar problems.
Yes the install is on a sata disk, it works fine with 2.4.27, is there some
kind of reconfiguration I can do to get this up and running?
Thanks David, I will have a crack at that in a couple of days and see if
I can get it to work
