I was trying to update the kernel from 2.2.0 to 2.4.18-1-386

I have tried to install a few times but still get the some errors when I

VFS: Cannot open root device "301" or 03:01
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic: VFS unable to mount root fs on 03:01

sounds like your kernel doesn't have VFS compiled in.

most likely the 2.2.0 had support and now with the 2.4.18 support has been compiled as a module.

you have two options.
1) create your own kernel .... configure then compile and install
or
2) use an Init RAM Disk (initrd) ....

hope that helps,
