loadlin + Sarge don't work

[Eriberto <jemf@gabcmt.eb.mil.br>]

Hello all!

I need to make the loadlin work with the Sarge. The root directory is 
/dev/hda5. I use ReiserFS.

I tried the command:

loadlin  vmlinuz  root=/dev/hda5  ro

On the RH the command works fine! However, on Sarge, the loadlin load 
half of the Linux and stop saying don't find the root partition on 
/dev/hda5. In next moment: kernel panic.

I used the vmlinuz present in /install directory in CD-ROM.

Thanks all!
