Sounds like the device names are improperly configured, perhaps changing which partition location is correct. Did you install from a USB or something?
Generally the devices are the type, logical drive number, partition. So /dev/sda1 would be your sd device, a is the first physical drive registered to the BIOS, and 1 being the partition number.
Probably your mount in /etc/stat.fs (i think that's the right name) will look something like this but separated by tabs (if memory serves me right)
[code]
/dev/sda1 / ext2 rw other_options
[/code]
It could also be the boot loader is improperly configured, a LILO or other configuration file will be located in your /boot/ directory.
Probably boot from your USB or CD that you used before and go into rescue mode to fix it, once fixed the system should boot normally.
