The problems are almost certainly to do with the driver (or lack of
driver) for your hard disc interface. There will be earlier messages
(and more importantly a lack of messages showing hardware being
detected) that end with failure to mount your root partition.

The configuration options for SATA moved in 2.6.19.

They are now under
  Device Drivers -> 
    Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers

The error messages are as a result of the keyboard LEDs being flashed.

Have a look at:

Try booting with i8042.panicblink=0
