You just confirm that, you have selected correct partition or not.
If you are using GRUB, You may check with this code also,
title rtlinux
root (hd0,1)
kernel /rtzImage ro root = /dev/hda3

here /dev/hda3=ur root file system has been installed
(hd0,1)= second partition for your boot loader installed.
