I think I may have some helpful information regarding this.

This looks a lot like a devfs path. I recently enabled evfs in my
2.4.8 kernel and had an interesting time getting it to boot. I got
the "I have no root and I want to scream" kernel panic many times. It
turned out that I needed to use the old dev name in the kernel's root=
argument. (I just have a plain ide disk though)
Try this and see if it works then.
