It sounds like you are telling the kernel the wrong root partition in
grub (or not specifying any root partition). For example:
menuentry "BLFS Dev (LFS-SVN-20121013), Linux 3.6.2" {
linux /vmlinuz-3.6.2-lfs-20121013 root=/dev/sda16 ro
}
GRUB is finding the kernel, but the kernel is not finding the right root
partition.
Try:
menuentry "BLFS-7.2" {
set root=(hd0,3)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.3-rc1-lfs-7.0 root=/dev/sda3 ro
}
