I have a had this same error on my system when trying to upgrade to the
planet CCRMA planetedge kernels. I had come to believe the my problem
was related to my root partition being on a SATA disk, and the switch to
libata (2.6.5 works for me).
The error means that whatever is supplied to the kernel with the "root="
parameter is not a valid device. In my case, this was "root=LABEL=/",
but it could be "root=/dev/hda1" or something like that.
So what do you have, and what is the previous version of kernel that
does work for you?

This error cannot possibly be caused by the realtime LSM patch.
Are you sure the config matches your running config otherwise?
Here is my diff
config

< # Linux kernel version: 2.6.9-rc3-mm3-VP-T3
< # Sat Oct 23 21:30:53 2004

# CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES is not set

CONFIG_SECURITY_REALTIME=y
I patched the source by hand, as patch using the diff Lee provided at
http://lkml.org/lkml/diff/2004/10/8/243/1
complains of an incomplete patch
Could the disks filesystem have some security setting that the
kernel does not now have, post-patch?
e.g. SECURITY_REALTIME=1 in include/linux/sysctl.h?
Only a guess...
Thanks for the help! I hope this enables my jackd to run in
realtime without weird errors.
