bbb linux-image-armmp image stuck on "Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2" (ascii)

When trying to use linux-image-armmp from the repository, the bbb won't boot and just stops while waiting for the root device

[    1.165000] Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2...

Since I'm not that familiar with u-boot configuration this could just be me. I pointed uEnv.txt to the correct initrd and kernel images using the provided uEnv.txt.

#u-boot eMMC specific overrides; Angstrom Distribution (BeagleBone Black) 2013-06-20
kernel_file=vmlinuz-4.9.0-6-armmp
initrd_file=initrd.img-4.9.0-6-armmp

I tried also with Debians customisation script and copying the dtbs files for that kernel over to /boot/dtbs but without any luck.

    You have to pass the correctroot=to the kernel cmdline. Do you know how to do this?

    I think I may have tried, but it's been a while since I tinkered with it. I'll take another look at that, see if getting the right root partition will fix it.
