Etch hangs on startup at: waiting on root file system ?

[mustard lee]

I put together a brand new Etch install today, which was working 
flawlessly for the first few boots.  I think  I may have done an apt-get 
upgrade prior to the last reboot and now its hanging on the startup with 
the message 'waiting on root file system'.  If I try recovery mode, its 
the same.  I've also tried noapic, nolapic, with no effect.  Has anyone 
heard of this error recently?  I'm not at the computer atm, or I would 
put in some more details like the kernel version.  The best I can say is 
it is the most current 'testing' 486 kernel, as I installed an updated 
all this today.  I suspect its something like 2.6.15.?-486.  Any ideas 
or comments would be appreciated.
