Looks like the kernel cannot find the root filesystem. Did anaconda
create and configure an initrd? It should do if your storage requires
loadable kernel modules to access (e.g. SCSI).

What "root" argument is the bootloader (GRUB, possibly LILO) passing to
the kernel? (Actually what's the entire kernel command-line?)
