Hm, looks like try_path() in init/do_mounts.c generates paths which don't exist. If you specify root=/dev/hda2, try_paths will look in /sys/block/hda2/dev, but it needs to be /sys/block/hda/hda2/dev. I tried playing with it a bit, but then it started trying to mount from hda4 for no obvious reason... But this should be enough to go on with.
