Hi Rusty,

At boot time I am seeing -


        Begin: Waiting for root file system
                Check root=bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
                or missing modules, device: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
        ALERT! /dev/hda1 does not exist. Dropping to shell!

(initramfs) .....
.......


/dev/hda1 does not exist??? Is that the problem?


Regards,        
Nithish Mahalingam

Do you have any clue in the console?  Any error messages?
