The problem is being caused by the dev_t changes that now print out
dev_t's as major:minor instead of a hex value. See print_dev_t().
This patch changes try_name() in init/do_mounts.c to get the major
and minor and return a MKDEV(major, minor). I've tested this on
my machines and it boots with root=/dev/hda2.
