I remember having something similar happen to me, and the thing that
fixed it was making sure that the fstab contained hda1/hdb3/whatever.
So boot with the livecd, mount the partition with /etc on it, and double
check the contents of /etc/fstab.
That is (I think) what worked for me about a year ago. It's misty in my
brain though, so YMMV.
