VFS : Cannot open root device "null" or unknown-block(0,0)

Hey guys !

i was creating a customized rootfs.gz by installing some software and adding some files

#tazlito writeiso lzma

then placed the rootfs.gz (*customized) and  bzImage (slitaz-4.0) in slitaz/boot

configured the isolinux.cfg to

label slitaz

kernel boot/bzImage

append initrd=/boot/rootfs.gz rw root=/dev/null vga=788

then generated iso using genisoimage.

but now the booting process stuck at the

VFS : Cannot open root device "null" or unknown-block(0,0)

Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions :

1600     221168  hdc drive : ide-cdrom

Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

Pid 1 : comm : swapper not tainted 2.6.37-slitaz #2

rest kernel panic call trace..

any idea guys ! how to resolve it ?

Thanks !

Anything sent to /dev/null gets discarded (thrown away).

(Maybe it should be /dev/ram or something.)
