grub> root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs partition type 0x83

grub> kernel /boot/bzImage root=3D/dev/cciss/disc0/part7
 Linux-bzImage, setup=3D0xa00, size=3D0x1095a4

   So GRUB sees the controller as an ordinary IDE device. Interesting.

VFS: Cannot open root device "cciss/disc0/part7" or 00:cc
Please append a correct "root=3D" boot option
Kernel Panic.  VFS: Unable to open root fs on 00:cc
Do you have DevFS compiled in AND set to mount itself on boot? Both are necessary for the kernel to see that device.

Barring that, try the old way of referring to it. According to the kernel docs, it's path would be "/dev/cciss/c0d0p7" if you had the /dev properly setup. Or try "/dev/hda7", maybe it shows up as a normal IDE drive to the kernel too.
