It was a typo. My grub configuration file is:
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.7-10)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hda6
rootflags=data=journal
initrd /initrd-2.4.7-10.img
If I try to boot with this configuration I get a kernel panic. Unable
to mount.

Subject: Question about Journaling Root Filesystem.
I am trying to use data=journal on my root file system. I have separate
slices on which journal=data works fine on all of them, except root. I
have tried putting rootflags=journal=data on my kernel line in Grub, but
I get a kernel panic. I'm missing something simple, I jut know it. It
can't be the kernel version because it works on the other slices. My
etc/fstab file is as follows:
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults
1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 data=journal
1 2
LABEL=/data /data ext3 data=journal
1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620
0 0
LABEL=/home /home ext3 data=journal
1 2
none /proc proc defaults
0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults
0 0
LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 data=journal
1 2
LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 data=journal
1 2
/dev/hda7 swap swap defaults
0 0
