FC test 2 doesn't boot after installation on a VMWare 4 machine

FC test 2 doesn't boot after installation on a VMWare 4 machine. I've tried
installing both, the server and ws with the same result. Any ideas?.

Installation details:

HOST SYSTEM:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
OS: Win2003
VMWARE: Version: 4.0.0 build-4460
RAM: 512 MB
PROCESSOR: Pentium III, 1 GHz

BOOT SEQUENCE COMMANDS (default installation commands)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd--2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1.img

MESSAGES ON THE BOOT SCREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried changing:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet

to

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 ro root=/dev/sda rhgb quiet

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 ro root=/dev/sda1 rhgb quiet
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 ro root=/dev/sda2 rhgb quiet
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 ro root=/dev/sda3 rhgb quiet


with same results

Thanks,
