I'm trying to revive an older Lenovo. It has worked in the past.
Here is the kernel panic error (3 lines)...
VFS: Cannot open device "801" or unknown-block (8,1): error -6
Please append a correct "root=" boot option: here are the available partitions:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root on unknown-block (8,1)
I've pulled in a working configuration from an old backup, so it
should work. I'm also listing "fdisk -l", "ll /boot", and
/etc/lilo.conf (the machine is too old for UEFI). Any ideas?

It looks like your boot partition is not found, which points to a disk
driver issue. Check the BIOS of the computer to make sure it is using
SATA for the controller, or whatever your kernel is set up to use.
WD800BEVS-08 is a 5400rpm 2.5inch sata disk.
Go into the bios and set up sata to be AHCI.
