[Users] boot error - unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

[Ian jonhson]

Hi,

It is my first time to use the openvz. I downloaded stuff
(kernel-patch, vzctl vzquota) by apt-get on my Debian4 and installed
them according the instructions of

http://wiki.openvz.org/Installation_on_Debian

However, when I rebooted my computer, I got a error message in system booting:

....
[  10.543572] VFS:Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
[  10.543635] Please appedn a correct "root=" boot option
[  10.543697] Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: Unable to mount root
fs on unknown-block(0,0)

what is matter with it?

My running environment is Debian4 on VMware 5.5.


Thanks!


Best washes,

Ian
