It may not work. As he said in the original message, he found lot's of other
people with that problem, including... myself. Since 2.6.4 I can't boot any 2.6
kernel, allways with that Kernel panic. I've tried several things, including
using the root=/dev/hda3 parameter, and, at the time, I've raised the issue
here on LKML, but no conclusion has been reached.

A search on LKML led me to this:
