Seems very odd. It's the same error I got when trying to boot from a DAC960 controller. The problem, in my case, was that the kernel doesn't recognize the DAC960's device names when it's parsing its parameters. In order to correct the problem, I had to pass the kernel the hex values of the major and minor numbers of the root fs device, rather than the device name. I don't know why that would be a problem for you, since I boot at home from a SCSI device...
All the same, you can try it. Change your grub.conf (or on the grub command line at boot time) so that the kernel parameter line looks like this: kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-4 ro root=0802 You should only need to change the root=xxxx argument. 0802 is the hex value of /dev/sda2.
