Can boot from floppy but not from Hard Disk

[Srini Amble <samble@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have loaded RH7.2 on dual Xeon server with Promise RAID. I followed 
the directions as given in the "Linux ATA RAID HOWTO" for RH 7.2.

When I try to boot off the Hard DIsk the kernel hangs. The meesage I see 
on the console is:

"request_module [block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device "802" or 08:02
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 08:02"

I can proceed to boot the server using the boot floppy. Could someone 
please point me in the right direction to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance

Srini
