1. Go to /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf If you have a line ROOT=probe or anything like that, here is where you please specify that root!
I have an ext3 partition on hdb1 and had the same problem. Changed it to: ROOT="/dev/hdb1 ext3" Note that the quotes are necessary for multiple options on this line. 2. Redo your initrd. Command line such as mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.4.16.... /lib/modules/2.4.16.... depending on the kernel flavor your installed Look in /boot. 3. Best to always rerun lilo if this is what you are using. 4. Reboot. Worked when I had the same problem.
