STATUS_IN_PAGE_ERROR typically means that something couldn't be page faulted in. If it were a real box, I'd say you have a dead or dying hard drive.
But during OS install of a VM, my guess is you used an SCSI disk in the VM and didn't install the updated VMware SCSI drivers (see the VMware documentation). Either give it an IDE disk or use the floppy image VMware provides with the proper SCSI drivers.
