[SLL] Cent OS 5 Update - Fails to boot

I just installed Cent OS 5 on a new server I bought from Silicon 
Mechanics.  The updates were applied and the server was rebooted.  Much 
to my surprise I got the following error:

Redhat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting
Unable to access resume device (Label=SWAP-sda3)
mount: could not find file system '/dev/root'
setuproot: movind /dev failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /procs: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - Not syncing: Attempted to kill init

If I select the older kernel from the grub menu the server boots just 
fine.  This is a vanilla install of Cent OS using the "server" install 
option.  The only thing I needed to do during the initial install was 
include the driver disc for the 3Ware 9650SE-8LPML card.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eric
