Bootable USB - Kernel Panic
 

I'm new to linux, so please bear with me....my issue is as follows:

I have a bootable USB, using GRUB to display a menu for booting multiple images. My menu.lst reads as follows:

========================================
timeout 60
default 0

title Boot from Hard Drive
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader (hd0,0)+1

title --------------------
root

title Start Hiren's BootCD
find --set-root /HBCD/boot.gz
map --mem /HBCD/boot.gz (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
rootnoverify (fd0)
map --floppies=1
boot

title Mini Windows Xp
find --set-root /HBCD/XPLOADER.BIN
chainloader /HBCD/XPLOADER.BIN

title Backtrack 3 Desktop
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=791 root=/dev/hda1 ro autoexec=xconf;kdm
boot

title Backtrack 3 Console
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=791 root=/dev/hda1 ro
boot
========================================

When i attemtp to boot into backtrack, it loads part way, then hangs with this error:

========================================
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
========================================

Is this down to the menu.lst not calling backtrack correctly or do i need to edit something in backtrack to allow lilo to load??

Any and all advise will be gratefully recieved... this is starting to really get to me

Look again at your menu.lst for backtrack desktop and console.
it says rootnoverify (hd0,0) and then root=/dev/hda1
But is different for consiole
Why are they different between console and desktop?
Nice job booting all that on one partition-yes?

I was trying different options to see if i could "make it work".... it didn't. Please ignore the difference between desktop and console, its the desktop version that i want to get running.
