Hi,

Got CentOS5 beta2 running in VMWare (on a CentOS4_x64 system) and it went smoothly.

Only issue right now is when I try to use yum I get some error messages that it can't route to some mirrors. The good news though is that eventually it succeeds.

Cheers!

I have just successfully installed CentOS5 beta from CDs. No major issues so far, but it is still too fresh to say anything. The machine I used is peculiar. By peculiar I mean it won't boot if I use grub (this is a long story by itself). So, I manually installed lilo to boot the system. The only problem is that I could not use kdump. It produced an error saying "No bootloader config file found". Since lilo is not supported by default, I would not call it a bug. But it will be great if I can monitor the system with kdump.
