Unable to boot new kernel 2.6.0

[Shahid Bhatti <shahid@cs.ucsb.edu>]

Hi All,
I have installed the new kernel deb package 2.6.0 and after configuring 
lilo and rebooting I am not able to boot the machine successfully. I am 
getting the following error:
----------------------------------------------------------------
VFS:Cannot open root device "301" or unknwon-block(3,1)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs or unknown-block(3,1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
And the system just hangs there. I am using sid distribution.
Any help from you will be highly appreciated, thanks.

This is my simple /etc/lilo.conf here which looks like the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------
lba32
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda1
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
delay=20
vga=normal
default=Linux
#image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19
image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label=Linux
        append="root=/dev/hda1"
        read-only
image=/vmlinuz.old
        label=Linux\ (old)
        read-only
#       restricted
#       alias=1
