Hi,
i wanted to install pluto in my vmware (running on win xp home ed.). The installation from the iso-image cd worked, but if i want to boot pluto, then the boot process halts with the message "waiting for the /root filesystem" for about 5 minutes and fails.
Has anyone seen the same problem or found any solution?
Yours Johannes
I had the exact same problem last night, only mine eventually fails out to a message that says it can't find /dev/ev6 (that's not right, it's something6 but I can't remember which) and then drops to a shell.....not sure why?

Try using the ide emulation instead of scsi one on vmware. Also i think you should boot without the bootsplash since starting x11 may get the vesafb console unusable on vmware.

Agree. It's better to use IDE instead of SCSI. But I used SCSI without any problems. Just try to use RedHat Linux. I'm not sure about .41 but .40 is working fine.
