Still get...

Waiting for device /dev/hda5 to appear:  ok
rootfs:  major=3 minor=5 devn=773
Mounting root /dev/hda5
mount: No such device
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!


It looks like it doesn't see the "real" rootfilesystem  I guess.
Or is it the other way 'round ,as in can 't see the virtual one.

Could it be because that filesystem in the guest OS (Gentoo) is 
formaatted as reiser ?
