VFS: Cannot open root device disk/by-id/ata-MAXTOR_STM3320620AS_6QF1LW22-part 4 or unknown-block(0,0)
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-MAXTOR_STM3320620AS_6QF1LW22-part4 -> ../../sda4
Hmm, looks good. Can you mount that partition manually i.e. do 'mount /dev/disk/by-id/ata-MAXTOR_STM3320620AS_6QF1LW22-part4 /mnt'? Next try would be to edit the grub configuration i.e. when presented with the boot choice menu, switch to GRUB text mode menu and edit the boot parameters by replacing the /dev/disk/by-id entries with root=/dev/sda4 swap=/dev/sda3.
