kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2 boot failure where kernel-2.6.9-1.3_FC2 works

[Matthew Miller]

In FC2 on an Asus P4S533-MX system *without* SATA, we get

  VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
  VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or unknown-block(0,0)
  Please append a correct "root=" boot option
  Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
    unknown-block(0,0)

followed by an infinite number of 

  atkbd.c: Spurious ACK on isa0060/seri0. Some program, like XFree86, 
    might be trying access hardware directly.

The machine isn't SMP, but oddly, if we boot the SMP kernel, we get the
panic message but _not_ the atkbd.c errors.

Also very disturbing: this happens with the newest kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2, but
kernel-2.6.9-1.3_FC2 works fine.


I added this to similar FC3 bug
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140065>; I can file a
new entry if that would be more helpful.
