That's odd. Did you specify '-k all'? Maybe you do have a problem with the root.disk. This is what I suggest - use this tool http://ext2read.blogspot.com/ to recover any important data you have off the root.disk, and then reinstall. If you can't view the root.disk using that tool it may be corrupt

Please supply more details about the error message. The message "The root.disk does not exist" is clearly incorrect, because you can still boot the older kernel. Is dropping you at a busybox prompt?
