Sounds like you are running from one problem to another. Maybe the new
Debian install kernel needs an initrd image, I don't know. To speed things
up:
In my eyes it would be much more efficient to try a new install with an
virtual IDE disk. It doesn't mean that you have to give your first try
away: Just create a new IDE disk in the Configuration Editor. Note that
the size limit from previous versions of VMware (2GB) doesn't exist
anymore. Don't forget to deselect the old SCSI disk.
I am always running into trouble when trying to install Linux onto a
virtual SCSI disk since the Buslogic Controler VMware is using is kind of
exotic.
Good luck.
