kernel panic !!!!

[majid]

Hi

I run VMware ESX Server on DELL blade server with scsi & raid controler DELL PERC controler.

I added a virtual machine, I installed a guest system linux gentoo 2005.0. I created just a root partion (/dev/sda1)

I installed lilo.

/etc/lilo.conf file:
----------------------------------------------------
boot=/dev/sda
prompt
timeout=50
default=gentoo
image=/boot/kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r3
label=gentoo
read-only
root=/dev/sda1
----------------------------------------------------

/etc/fstab
------------------------------------------------------
/dev/sda1 / ext3 noatime 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
-------------------------------------------------------

On boot I have a kernel panic and this message apears

VFS: cannot open device "801" or unknown-bloc (8,1)
Please append a correct "root"= boot option.
kernel panic not syncing:VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-bloc (8,1).

Thanks for any help you can provide

Regards
madjid
