Warty and Hoary Installation Problem

[David Heintz]

I tried with 

kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1

(also exchanged "hda1" for "hda", "sda1" and "sda") but got

Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition

Never tried "initrd" after that. I have three HDDs in my machine, two IDE 
discs, and one SATA disc. Choosed to format only the SATA disc during the 
partitioning (the automatic one in Warty/Hoary installation CD), and then 
accepted to make two new partitions, one being a swap.
