If you have IDE, try changing your fstab and grub line from sda5 to hda5. That error is caused by that pretty much every time. Keep in mind, it doesn't matter what the drive reports itself as when booted off the CD, it only matters how the kernel YOU built sees it. It can be set up to see it either way. I have IDE and mine still sees it as hda, hdb etc except for my SATA drive that is hooked up to a card. That one is sda. If you have SATA drives, I'm back to clueless but thinking on it. Dale :-) :-)
