I tried to install Knoppix 3.4 (rev. May 17, 2004, EN) into VMWare Workstation 4.5.2.
Install completes successfully, but after reboot I receive kernel panic, cannot mount root partition on both kernels (2.4 and 2.6)

My VM configuration:
128Mb RAM, 6Gb SCSI0:0, IDE CDROM, NIC NAT.

Knoppix 3.3 (20040216 EN works perfectly both in VMWare and on my HDD)
