am assuming that this appears after your installation.
Did you do a full re-install ?
basically some where in the reinstall process the OS / boot up process is
not able to identify which partition is the one to refer to. The UUID's have
replaced the /dev/sdx/ and the UUID's are not correctly set up. So one easy
way is to set it up such that the OS / boot process can reidentify the
correct partition
If you google you will get a lot of SOLVED results
so am just posting some links here for you to follow
1. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KarmicUpgrades - this seems a very good
starting point

Re: ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx$ does not exist*
------------------------------
The content of your "/etc/fstab" file might also be relevant.
Sometimes the entries in fstab will be changed so that instead of referring
to a device path (like "/dev/sda1") they will be switched to a UUID version
(like "UUID=1b5a38ca-9f0d-4f1a-8fc1-7c418e79bf07"). The previous device
mapping will be listed on the line above, commented-out.
In the past I've switched the UUID back to the device path without problems.
So I would check "/etc/fstab" and if it contains UUID listings for
mountpoints, change them back to device paths (backup your fstab first, of
course!). See also this post<http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=747249>
.
Since you can't boot into Linux, you'll have to boot into a LiveCD, mount
the drive, and make the changes from there. Let us know if you need any of
these instructions to be more explicit.
