initrd showing root at 1,9 when it's at 0,0 new kernel wont boot: msg#00089

linux.raid

Subject: initrd showing root at 1,9 when it's at 0,0 new kernel wont boot

this is odd. I ususally use "make install" when
building a kernwel to take care of initrd but I noted
it said this

tools/build -b bbootsect bsetup
compressed/bvmlinux.out CURRENT > bzImage
Root device is (9, 1)
Boot sector 512 bytes.
Setup is 2533 bytes.
System is 1098 kB
warning: kernel is too big for standalone boot from
floppy

should I be using the "#boot=/dev/hde" in my
grub.conf?

My grub.con looks like this
default=2
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20 ro root=/dev/md1
hdb=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.20.img

title linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-26.8.0 ro
root=/dev/md1
hdb=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-26.8.0.img


The stock kernel boots just fine but 2.4.20 says it
cannot start modprobe then dies saying cannot locate
root dev @ 9,1.

Ahh, help
