Virtualization problem
Hi,

I am having a virtualization problem with a machine that runs on Fedora Core 4. I created a IDE virtual machine running FEDORA CORE 4. Then I restored the original servers partition one by one. Everything works until I restore root. Then When I load up I get

Code:
mount: error 6 mounting ext3 error. 
error opening /dev/console !!!!:2 
error dup2'ing fd0 of 0 to 0
error dup2'ing fd0  of 0 to 1
error dup2'ing fd0 of 0 to 2
switchroot: mount failed.

And I get a kernel panic.

The original machine may have run on a SATA box so I am thinking the virtual machine now things there is a sata drive when it is a IDE drive: VMWARE does not give option for a SATA drive.

Is there something I can do?
