I find out the problem (in VMWare and may be QEMU is the same, I will 
try later) and pass it. The problem is ROCK doesn't create /dev/fb/0 or 
/dev/fb0 automatically which will be use by X. Let try with kernel 
commanline options while GRUB start:

video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x314

for more info on the options see kernel_src/Documentation/fb/*

Hope this help,
Tuan
