I think the problem is the root= parameter to your kernel.
You have:

	linux (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 ro

You should have:

	linux (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 ro

Also, in the 6945 iso you need this additional kernel parameter:

	init=/linuxrc

Which makes the complete line you need:

	linux (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ro


Hope that helps,
	Benjamin
