I have a physical machine that work like my server yesterday i use clonezilla to backup the disk to make a virtual machine with it (convert the physical machine in virtual).
Everything worked ok until i try to boot the machine in virtualbox, now i have this error:
:: Loading root filesystem module...
Attempting to create root device '/dev/sda3'
ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/sda3'
unknown
ERROR: root fs cannot be detected. Try using the rootfstype= kernel parameter.
Wating for devices to settle...done.
Root device '/dev/sda3' doesn't exist, attempting to create it
ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/sda3'
ERROR: Unable to create/detect root device '/dev/sda3'
Dropping to a recovery shell... type 'exit' to reboot
NOTE: klibc contains no 'ls' binary, use 'echo *' instead
If the device '/dev/sda3' gets created while you are here,
try adding 'rootdelay≃8' or higher to the kernel command-line
ramfs$
I can boot fallback.
This is my fstab:
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
And this is my menu.lst:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro 5 vga=795
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
# (1) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro 3
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
# (2) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux Fallback
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img
Can you help me ?

Thanks for posting the appropriate config files.
Your fstab has a swap partition and a /home partition, but no root partition! Certainly not good.
Something probably went wrong in the imaging process. It seems like your grub setup seems to think there should be a sda3 root partition there.
You can boot a livecd and run fdisk -l to see what partitions you have, but it looks like the root partition missed being copied properly.
Madly in love with Arch64, Openbox, DotA, and of course... penguins!
Happy to help if you're not a Help Vampire. Use your wonderful resources like ArchWiki, Google, and our wonderful search page.

Sorry my mistake, when i paste it:
The right one is :

/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults 0 1

I just reinstalled the kernel and everything went ok.
Thanks for everything.
