i have edit grub.conf file as follow:
title Red Hat Linux ( 2.4.20-8)
root ( hd0, 5)
kernel /boot/vmlinux-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img
########## FOLLOWING IS THE PORTION THAT I HAVE APPENDED#########
title Red Hat Linux ( 2.4.20-8)
root ( hd0, 5)
kernel /boot/bzImage-2.4.20-new ro root=LABEL=/
Try giving "root=/dev/hda6" instead of giving "root=LABEL=/". Which
filesystem "/" has ? Have you made it inbuilt?

initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-new.img

i went through many documentition given on net and all are almost same.
