I have no such error with 2.4.27.
Tell us about the hardware: Is the disk really a PATA or is it SATA? 2.4 kernels will see them as /dev/hd* whereas 2.6 kernels will see them as /dev/sd* Also, for /dev/sd*, it is possible for renaming to occur. You can get around this by adding a filesystem lable (e.g. root or boot) to the filesystems and pass that as a root= option.
