since this is not a perl related question, I am just guessing some reasons for the problem

clearly you are passing some wrong options to kernel boot parameters.
during an attempt to see the kernel configuration file, unknowingly you might have edited that file, and failed to undo changes while closing the file.
you might have tried to use a different kernel version than the normal one and failed to give the 'root' kernel parameter .

BTW, tell us about, what kernel you are using?, what are the contents of the kernel configuration file?(just show us the area where you think the problem resides), Is it a new system that you are setting up from scratch?, or just trying to install an OS on a disk where you have only data; in the idea of using that disk as a separate bootable HDD?

give us more clarity on the environment and setup from where you got this error

sometimes you yourself can find the solution when you try to properly explain the setup and configuration details to others, I think that idea may also work, find a OS installation geek in your workplace and try to explain him what you have done, you/he may find a solution easily
