Display all possible partitions when the root filesystem failed to mount 

Display all possible partitions when the root filesystem is not mounted.
This helps to track spell'o's and missing drivers.

Updated to work with newer kernels.

Example output:

VFS: Cannot open root device "foobar" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
0800    8388608 sda driver: sd
  0801     192748 sda1
  0802    8193150 sda2
0810    4194304 sdb driver: sd
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
