SCSI RAID boot problems

I'm having troubles booting form a SCSI RAID 5 array.
When booting, it decompresses the kernel (which also resides on the array), but halfway the boot process, I get following messages:

Hi, I already installed Grub (indeed using the stage2 parameter), but as it is able to boot the kernel image (which panics), I assume that Grub has been installed correctly, and that It's mearly the root= parameter I need to get right in grub.conf
