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.
