Sounds like 1 of 2 things to me: Either a) your boot file (e.g., /boot/grub/menu.lst) is not correct (i.e., is not pointing to your root directory at /dev/hda6). Or b) you haven't properly configured mkinitcpio (i.e., /etc/mkinitcpio.conf) to build an initrd that contains all the kernel modules you need for booting your box (e.g., SCSI modules, USB modules, etc.). In this situation, the kernel won't find your root since it doesn't have the appropriate module loaded that lets it read from it. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio for details.
