I think you're in kernel-land when you get those errors, and your |
| 13 |
kernel is built to use an initrd which it doesn't find (because you |
| 14 |
don't give it on the command line). I could be mistaken but that's |
| 15 |
what I see there. Is there an initrd image in the root of the boot |
| 16 |
partition (next to the kernel)? Try specifying that on the command |
| 17 |
line. |

Alternatively, check that your kernel is configured correctly for the |
| 20 |
chipset that the vmware is emulating - it may just be missing the |
| 21 |
vmware "hardware" and falling back to the non-existent initrd for more |
| 22 |
drivers. You may need to compile another kernel to proceed, or build |
| 23 |
an initrd with the missing drivers. (unfortunately I don't do vmware |
| 24 |
so I don't know what it needs) |
