Problem build initrd file

[Don Leslie]

I have a RHEL3 system which boots from scsi disk .

There is also LSI 1030 scsi controller for a HP Ultrium tape drive . I 
did the following
to add the new drivers ( per Lsi web page ).

cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-27.EL

tar zxvf /home/urdge/LSIdriver/fusion-2.05.16.tgz
tar tzvf /home/urdge/LSIdriver/fusion-2.05.16.tgz

At boot I get :

Cannot open root device LABEL=/ or 00:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Unable to mount root fs on 00:00

Any suggestions?
