/dev/root is like a pointer to another partition.  It's not the problem
that it can't find /dev/root, it's a problem that it is not finding the
partition with the / filesystem on it (that /dev/root whould be pointing
to).

It usually means you should go look at the kernel commandline root=...
line defined in /boot/grub/grub.conf
