I had a similar problem, after installation I get the grub (MBR). I selec my partition and I get this error

NTFS-fs warning (device hda1): ntfs_fill_super(): Atime updates are not implemted yet. Disabling them.

Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on hda1

I tried with GNOPPIX 0.8 and ReiserFS and got the same trouble. Gnoppix bootloader is installed on hda6. I tried to chainload that loader from my original grub installation in MBR but the Gnoppix bootloader wasn't recognized as being a known loader. After that, I copied the Gnoppix menu.lst entry into the original menu.lst. Gnoppix started but initrd wasn't found. I changed the menu.lst entry to /boot/initrd.gz which worked but after that the root partition was not recognized.

Si "After Install Boot Fails"

Edite la línea de Grub y cambie la unidad.  El error se debe a que al convertir el dispositivo linux a la manera de GRUB, deja el mimso número de partición de Linux sin disminuir en una unidad por cuanto GRUB inicia a contar dispositivos desde 0.

grub muestra hd0,3 para /dev/hda3, debiendo ser
             hd0,2 para /dev/hda3

una vez edite en la pantalla inicial, y logre arrancar el sistema, vaya a /boot/grub, edite el menu.lst y corrija el dispositivo.  Si tiene windows y no lo vió en la lista de inicio, agregue estas líneas en el menu.lst:

title Windows XX
chainloader=(hd0,0)+1

I just installed Gnoppix and when GRUB trys to start it, it says that it can't recognize the partition type of the root partition, even though it seems to know it's 0x82 (if I'm reading that right, that means ext2, which is exactly what it is). I'm going to try reinstalling with ext3, but I thought it might be a good idea to mention this first. This is installing Gnoppix 0.7 BETA.

Note:
You've got my vote for a forum, and for Mozilla Firebird too, the first command I give Gnoppix will probably be apt-get install mozilla-firebird
