lilo/boot broken with kernel 2.6.28-1 ?

Hello
  After upgrade to kernel 2.5.28.8-1 today computer will not boot unless I manually type the root=/dev/sda2.  I have attached tye lilo.conf below.
  When it trys to boot I recieve an error with root fs cannot be detected.  I booted with "arch rootfstype=ext3", it pass this point until it cannot create /dev/root.  I did thy  "arch rootfstype=ext3 rootdelay=8", still the same problem.
  If I type "arch root=/dev/sda2" it will boot properly.
  I have try re-running the kernel26 and lilo though pacman but the problem persist.

  Anyone else have this problem ?

Thanks
Jason

Patched the problem with the below in the lilo.conf.  It boot's normally now.

image=/boot/vmlinuz26
        label=arch
        append="root=/dev/sda2"
        root=/dev/sda2
        initrd=/boot/kernel26.img
        read-only

I have the same problem since couple of days. downgrade of klibc-udev to 139  version solved the problem. And you solution also warks for me. I think something is broken that /dev/root symlink is missing.
