Can you please "copy&past" some few lines back your error message?

Those lines can help see what have happened in your system.

The most probably is that the boot can't access the root file system.

But with those lines I can give you some more help.

Sinceraly,

JB

See

If seen during boot, it often means that the root filesystem couldn’t be found and/or mounted. This is usually caused by a filesystem corruption (boot using the RHEL installation CD #1/DVD and run fsck against the partition that represents your root filesystem) or a hardware issue (check in the host’s BIOS to make sure that expected IDE/SATA drives are visible, or on your host’s SCSI/SAS/RAID controller to make sure all installed disks are discovered).
