It means it can not find your hard drive. Likely a grub error. Try using
a rescue cd and edit the menu.lst file. Look for the kopt directive.
It possible you running into some UUID issues and a known bug with
update-grub.... then again maybe it has nothing to do with it.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/21412

is a partial description. I believe there are others related to update-grub.
