Just a guess, but maybe you created an ext3 or ReiserFS or XFS or JFS
filesystem on /dev/hda1 but did not enable that filesystem type in your
kernel?

You mentioned that you used genkernel to automagically configure/compile
the kernel. I have not used that, so I am not sure what filesystems it
compiles in. You can always check with:
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
\-->Filesystems

Just make sure that any filesystem you want to support are compiled into
the kernel. Do not compile them as modules or Gentoo will not be able
to mount those filesystems at boot time. If you have a need to
occasionally support a particular filesystem (but not at boot time) you
could compile that particular filesystem as a module.
