For me it worked well with Yellowdog 2.1 (Redhat derived) when I booted with
linux2.4.19-pre3 root=/dev/hda6 kernel=/boot/vmlinux2.4.19-pre3

In detail:
It could solve your problem if you specify the root partition and the kernel you want to boot as options when booting. How these options are specified may depend on your bootloader.

This is only a workaround, I didn't read the docs about the boot parameters esp. init= yet ;-)
