I'd like to share my experience with this issue in my laptop with PATA disk: as some of you have commented above, I was using /dev/sdXX syntax in menu.lst and fstab since first Feisty alphas. After upgrading to 2.6.20-16.28 the laptop just couldn't mount root partition at boot time. Previous kernel version still worked, fortunately.
Moreover, my root partition, whis is reiserfs, didn't have an UUID at all, so I had to boot a live CD and set a new UUID for it with 'reiserfstune -u `uuidgen` /dev/sda2'. Then, I replaced all the /dev/sda2 references in fstab and menu.lst with the new 'UUID=...' thing. Finally, rebooted and it just works fine now, even suspend to disk. BTW, I also replaced /dev/hdc from fstab with /dev/cdrom (a symlink to hdc) just in case.
