Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:08 [How to Solve]

When starting the qcow2 image with QEMU, the virtual machine will give an error prompt

/lib/sym53c8xx.o: init_module: No such device
insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
ERROR: /bin/insmod exited abnormally!
VFS: Cannot open root device "808" or 08:08
please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:08

I searched the Internet and couldn’t find a solution
