The root device probably changed.
You'll need to start in rescue mode with a CD and update fstab, 
modules.conf, initrd (if needed) with mkinitd afterwards, and probably 
grub.

Or loop mount the disk image and fix it directly (though probably more 
complicated)

Or try to use the correct disk emulation. (sata, scsi, etc) in the 
configuration.
That basically depends on which one was used.
