It sounds like you haven't compiled the drivers required to access your
root partition into the kernel. If your root partition on an IDE drive,
the kernel _must_ have the IDE drivers in the kernel, that is, they
_cannot_ be modules. Same applies to SCSI. If you have the proper
drivers installed in the kernel, and you're still having trouble, check
your lilo config (/etc/lilo.conf) to make sure you have the correct root
device set. If you don't use lilo, then try using `rdev` which sets the
image root device. man rdev.
Hope it helps,
