Do you have an /initrd directory in the root of the drive you are booting from? If you are using an initrd.img to boot I think that directory is required for pivot_root.
Considering what Michael has suggested, I believe you should be able to boot by replacing root=/dev/hdx with root=/dev/sdx on the grub menu. But, Etch is better anyway. regards, Nishant
