Here is the complete grub.conf file:
more /boot/grub/grub.conf
default 0
timeout 8
gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/message

title 2.6.24.4-default
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /boot/kernel root=/dev/sda1 splash=silent showopts

/etc/fstab:
#/dev/BOOT              /boot           ext2            noauto,noatime  1 2
/dev/sda1               /               ext3            noatime         0 1
/dev/sda2               none            swap            sw              0 0
#/dev/cdrom             /mnt/cdrom      audo            noauto,ro       0 0
#/dev/fd0               /mnt/floppy     auto            noauto          0 0

shm                     /dev/shm        tmpfs           
nodev,nosuid,noexec     0 0

I am looking into the SCSI file system issue.
