[Voyage-linux] 0.7.0 boot problem

Although I am a voyage/Alix 6 newbie, I had no problems installing 0.6.5 
a couple of months ago.

However, when I try to install 0.7.0 from scratch, I cannot get it to 
boot after moving the flash disk to the Alix board.
No indications of problems when creating the disk according to the same 
procedure as for 0.6.5.

Everthing seems OK when I start booting until I get the messages below.

I got a lot of hits when I googled for the key words but it seems as if 
these messages can be caused by many different sorts of problems.

It seems as if the boot program cannot find the file system.
I tried to start all over for times but got exactly the same behaviour.

Anything obvious that I miss?

[    1.377111] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the 
available partitions:
