Okay so, I unplugged the keyboard the moment I selected a kernel to boot.
The last thing i see on my screen, regarding SCSI is:

scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access       ATA      WDC WD2000JB-00G 08.0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
scsi 1:0:0:0 CD-ROM               AOPEN DUW1608/ARR         A060 PW: 0 ANSI: 5


then later on:

VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
