Look at your grub config.

Root=/LABEL=/ looks way wrong.

It should point to something in the /dev directory.

In my case my hard drive that has the / file system on it is /dev/sdc1

Look at your other grub configs for your other WORKING kernels and make the
root=/ section of your grub config the same as what those kernels read.
