Maxtor Ultra ATA/133 and kernel panic



I'm running Sarge with a custom 2.4.20 kernel.  Up until today, my
server (Dell Poweredge 600SC) was running one 40Gb drive.  Today, I
installed a 120Gb in the second IDE slot in the motherboard.  I also
installed a Maxtor Ultra ATA/133 adapter card (Promise) and attached one
Maxtor 120Gb IDE Ultra ATA133 drive to each channel.

As the system begins booting, it dies with the following:

VFS: Cannot open root device "303" or 03:03
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:03

I've searched Google and come up with some vague and sometimes
conflicting solutions.

If anyone can advise as to what boot option I need to pass, or how to go
about determining what to pass, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
