[Udpcast] Custom iso

First let me thank you for udpcast, it has been a valuable tool for my
school district. And now to what I'm here for, we have gotten a new batch
of computers from Gateway with Marvell nic cards not supported with the
current version of udpcast. I have attempted to build a custom iso with
these new drivers following the instructions on the website. I used the
2.4.26 kernel sources and the rpm's from the site. I can't get the
computers to boot to determine if the new drivers work. I'm sure I've just
overlooked some small detail but I haven't been able to determine what.

I downloaded the linux driver from the Marvell site; installed in 2.4.26
src tree and built kernel according to instructions on the site.

I created the iso with the following command:

./makeImage -k
/usr/local/lx/2.4.26-udpcast/linux-2.4.26/arch/i386/boot/bzImage -c
udpcast1.iso --fullbox

the resulting iso is then burned to cd and when booted gives the following
error:

Please append a correct "root=" boot option.
kernel panic not able to mount root

Thanks,
Michael
