This means that grub/kernel can not find/read the root file system, the 
kernel needs to past control to init and it can not find /etc/inittab

 From your grub menu.lst file

kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uid/2fbe575b-7fef-4350-9398-d69c3d550de2 ro

try changing to

kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2 ro

Are you sure that /dev/sda2 is your root filesystem?
