[olug] can't find root parition

[Chad S. Lauritsen]

things look right to me. Have you tried adding an append line to the
kernel that worketh not? such as

append="root=/dev/hda1"

I know it shouldn't make a difference. Does the kernel have the code
compiled in for the filesystem you're using? 

I know, desperate grasping at straws, both suggestions.
