Out of curiousity, what device are you trying to boot from? 03:42, at least
according to linux/Documentation/devices.txt, corresponds to /dev/hda42.

Is that really the disk you're trying to mount? I'm not familiar with how
some IDE RAID controllers present disks, but it was the first thing I
noticed.
