/dev/hda6 contains your root filesystem, right?
When you are dropped into the shell:
- check if /dev/hda6 really is not there: 'ls /dev/hda*'
- check if the modules you need for your disk are loaded:
'cat /proc/modules' (check for ide-disks too!)
- if any modules are missing, use modprobe to load the manually
- check if /dev/hda6 now appears
- after it does, type exit to continue the boot

That is a bad idea: the root= option is essential for booting with an
initramfs generated by initramfs-tools.
