Hi Finnur,

thanks for your feedback on ESX 2.5.x and 3.x - While its interesting to note about the linux-2.4.x and linux-2.6.x issue, the main concern I had was something else... ( read below )

ESX, the performance is very very bad. When I intsall RHES4 as guest operating system under ESX, the performance is very good. It will be that it has some problem CentOS to work with virtualization?

this is the point I am most interested in, what / why is it that RHES4 will work fine and not CentOS4.

Did you use the driver disks for RHEL4 supplied by VMWare ? (for SCSI drivers)? I think the newest from them is for the stock update 2 kernel ....That is the only reason i can think of ...:(
