mkinitrd cannot find the drivers which
must be included into the initrd. I'm not sure if SLC6 is already
using dracut. If so, you may want to change the script 30-mkinitrd so
it uses the dracut part instead of the mkinitrd code. Or try to add
kudzu to your package list.

"Dracut Warning: No root device
„block:/dev/system/_root“ found" is the error message. If it's still
the same error message, you have to debug the initrd (use lsinitrd to
see which drivers are included in you initrd) or the boot process of
dracut. This can be done by adding rd.debug to the kernel command line.
