This is normal behavior for your configuration.  On the ebony
port, the default ROOT_DEV is 16:01 (/dev/hda1) if you
don't have CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD or CONFIG_ROOT_NFS
configured.  You can even see kmod trying to load
an ide driver for you.

With CONFIG_ROOT_NFS enabled, it will attempt to root from 00:ff,
the nfs pseudo root device.
