VFS: Cannot open root device "801" or 08:01
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01

I know of 2 possible problems that could be here.

1)  Your BIOS / Bootloader (LILO) will not boot from this type of SCSI hard drive controller.

2)  Your Bootloader does the job correctly, but your miniroot filesystem and init scripts do not load up the correct SCSI driver.

You will need to uncompress minirt24.gz and mount it as a loop filesystem and then add your aha152x.o driver file into the mountpoint.

Then you will need to add this command to your init script:

insmod aha152x io=0x340 irq=11

This is not an easy job for the novice user.  I wish you luck.

Open an xterminal and type:

sudo su
gunzip minirt24.gz
mkdir image
mount -o loop -t ext2 minirt24 image

Then copy the /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/scsi/aha152x.o  (I think that the path is correct)  file into the appropriate subdirectory inside the image directory.

Then edit one of the init scripts, find out where the initial driver modules are loaded and add

insmod aha152x

at the end of this list and then save the script and exit the image directory back to your home directory.  Then type:

umount minirt24
gzip minirt24

and then copy your new minirt24.gz file so that it overwrites your old minirt24.gz file that is accessed by your boot loader.  It is a good idea to backup the original minirt24.gz file in case you have really hosed things somehow.

This is about as good of an explanation as I can give right now. Hope this helps.
