Cannot get the new kernel 2.6.0-test4 to boot

[Cisien]

I get this error message when I attempt to boot this kernel.

VFS:Cannot open root device on "303" or unknown block(3,3)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,3)

I have searched google left and right and the only thing I found related to a problem that was fixed before test2 was released.

I have tried seting root to /dev/hda3, and 0303.

---------Lilo.conf file ----------

# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
#append="hdc=ide-scsi"

boot = /dev/hda
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 120

# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:

change-rules

# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
# vga = 791
# Normal VGA console
# vga = normal

# Linux bootable partition config begins

image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda3
label = Linux
read-only

image = /boot/2.6.0/bzImage
root = /dev/hda3
label = "Linux-2.6.0"
read-only

# Linux bootable partition config ends


------------End Lilo.conf File-------------

Note: The kernel I'm trying to load is /boot/2.6.0/bzImage.

here is my kernel configure file generated by gconfig (graphical configuration utility)

Any suggestions?

are you sure that root = /dev/hda3 is correct?
try to run fdisk /dev/hda, and press "p" to see the partition table, or just check /etc/fstab to see where the root (/) partition is located.. i guess root partition will be /dev/hda1 or hda2..

Did you compile IDE support into the kernel, or did you modularize it?
