For some reason you seem to be unable to mount the root partition. This
could be because you can't see the partition or because the partition has
an unknown file system.

As you are using the adaptec.s kernel, do you se any text about your scsi
card and scsi drives while booting? It usually takes some time to detect
scsi disks during boot so even with a fast computer you should be able to
at least see some text about your scsi card.

I'm not sure if this still works after a kernel panic, but shift-page-up
scrolls the screen so you will be able to see all kernel messages from
boot. Do you see anything about the partitions? Something like this:

Partition check:
hda: hda1
hdb: hdb1 hdb2 < hdb5 hdb6 hdb7 hdb8 hdb9 hdb10 >

But in your case it should be called sda instead. If you are able to see
your scsi-card, your disc and your partitions it is probably support for
the file system that is missing. Which file system did you choose?
