VFS - Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block (0,0)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-rc3-bk1compaq ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quite
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-rc3-bk1compaq.img
maybe changed to:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-rc3-bk1compaq ro root=08:01=/ rhgb quite
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-rc3-bk1compaq.img
