I recently installed VMware on CentOS 4.4 (using the single server CD). I installed VMware fine, and then installed the VMware-mui tools that allow me to use a Windows box to console to the server. From my Windows box, I can create VMs on the fly just fine.
Interestingly, I can create virtual Debian boxes ok, but I can't create virtual CentOS boxes. What might I be missing? As soon as I boot to the iso, it says something about not being able to find the drive.
(I didn't have this problem with CentOS when Windows was my host OS, only when CentOS is the host OS)

Interestingly, the way I "fixed" this was to just use recreate this with Red Hat 4 as the template.

I've seen this issue myself on a seemingly random basis. Flip the drive to an ide rather than a scsi one and see if it works.
