Error messages:
...
md: ... autorun DONE
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available 
partitions:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-block(0,0)

There is one more thing, this is a vmware machine so the harddrive is a 
scsi harddrive.
