This suggests that you are using CFS (Cryptographic Filesystem) for your
root filesystem ("/") and the new kernel does not have support for it.

03:02 refers to device major 03 (hda) minor 2 (partition 2) or /dev/hda2

It is also possible that support for ide controllers was omited from your
new kernel. Verify that you have ide support in this kernel/

Did you build your own kernel, or use one from your vendor?

Did the previous kernel use an initrd disk image to preload modules before
switching roots?

in your bootloader,m what is your root= set to?

Hope this points you in directions to find the problem you face.
