Upgrading to Slack 12.1

I was upgrading my slack 12 to 12.1 ( using this script
ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-12.1/UPGRADE.TXT ), and
when I boot my computer I received the following error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VFS: Cannot open root device "806"or unknown-block(8,6)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the
available partitions:
0300 312571224 hda driver: ide-scsi
0301 20482843 hda1
0302 1 hda2
0305 20482843 hda5
0306 4996183 hda6
0307 4000153 hda7
0308 2000061 hda8
0309 2000061 hda9
030a 128905528 hda10
030b 129700746 hda11
1600 4194302 hdc driver: ide-cdrom

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-
block(8,6)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In fact I understood the problem, I need to append a correct root, but
I did this change on lilo.conf and the problem persists.

And I realized something strange, I don`t have a IDE Hard Disk, is a
SATA.
So, why the available partitions are hda instead of sda? Do I need to
change some kernel configuration? How can I do it?

Thanks.
