Has anyone successfully installed CentOS 4.2 within VMWare 5 and have it run successfully. I tried doing this last night, but after the install, it cannot boot. It hangs at the GRUB message.
I have used CentOS 4.1 many times within VMWare without problems.
I did a search and found some where people have had this problem, but not within VMWare. The problems seem to have been related to SCSI devices. I know VMWare allows you to choose between two types of SCSI interfaces, but I chose the default presented (for RedHat Enterprise 4). Maybe I need to use a different VM configuration?

I ran into the same thing yesterday afternoon, but didn't have time to start debugging it.

I have 4.2 running in VM5 with no problems. SCSI drive emulation with the Buslogic driver.

emulation with
the Buslogic driver.
Did you install this from scratch, or was it a previous version that you upgraded?
Any, I retried using IDE instead of SCSI and that worked.
Derek
Fresh install. I just duplicated the install with IDE emulation as well.

I too have installed 4.2 in VM5 using both IDE and SCSI. I had no problems in either case. I've not tried upgrading to 4.2 in VM5 though.
