kernel panic on mounting root fs

Hello all,

I installed OpenSuse 10 on a PIII PC.
Everything went ok until I had first time to reboot.
Grub came up ok and had no problems loading kernel
and initrd, But mounting the root failed with
"no such device", "kernel panic" was announced accordingly
and the rest is freeze. (see boot output below)
With rescue system I can mount with no problem and fsck
states no inconsistencies on the reiserfs on hda5 (/), hdb5
(/srv) or on the ext2fs on hda1(/boot) and hdb1 (/home).
I reinitialzed the swap on hda5 but all that didn't change
anything. Booting with the save settings doesn't do better
either (ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off noresume selinux=0 nosmp
noapic maxcpus=0 edd=off 3).

One strange thing is that in the setup hda is recognized as
marked for softraid though there is no softraid or
raidcontroller on the board (a MEDION9901). But linux live CDs,
previously installed Suse9.3 and a Win2000 system all had no
problems like that.

Any suggestions? Any problems known for the ide driver
7.00alpha2?

TIA

     Robert
