the first root fs it will look for, w/ a debian 2.4 kernel, is the initrd.
are you sure you're loading one? when you install a 2.4 kernel, it gives
you instructions on how to do this.
modules from /etc/modules aren't loaded until later - the root filesystem
has to be mounted before this file can be accessed.
