I booted with "CentOS installation DVD" and entered "rescure mode". Here is the requested output (as a image):

I found the problem!

The newly created vm for the restore test had the "VMware Paravirtual" scsi-controller but the original (in backup) vm had the "LSI Logic Parallel".

Changed the controller in the new vm to "LSI Logic Parallel" and the system booted. The problem was me all the time ;-) and this thread can be marked as solved.

Best regards
