If anyone knows what cause this, or has any suggestions, please let me know.
Make sure you have your IDE chipset driver compiled in (even having a module & initrd has caused problems for me).
yeah, and I also tend to compile support for the root filesystem (ext3?) directly into the kernel.
Generally, I always compile drivers needed to initially access and boot my system directly into the kernel. (like ide driver, filesys driver, network drivers for a netboot system etc....). All rest can go into modules if you like.
by the way, I guess /dev/hda1 does contain your root (/) filesystem? If not, that might actually be your problem :)
