What does fdisk -l show you in the rescue disk? What's in /sys/class/block? Does it mention any devices in dmesg? Linux must have been able to access the disk in the first place somehow to get installed in the first place...

NAME
vmxnet - vmware kernel module SYNOPSIS
modprobe vmxnet DESCRIPTION
This is a Linux kernel device driver module that drives VMware's fast networking device. As it is backed by real (virtual) hardware, it should be automatically loaded by hotplug or udev as needed. For best performance, it is recommended to enable TSO on all interfaces driven by vmxnet using ethtool. The shell code to do this might look like this: if which ethtool >/dev/null 2>&1; then for ethif in `ifconfig -a | grep ^eth | cut -d' ' -f1`; do ethtool -K $ethif tso on >/dev/null 2>&1 done fi The VMware backend may present the fast networking device as an AMD vlance device instead of the actual vmxnet device.
