I am not having a good experience with vmware. Twice I have tried it today and it locks up my machine.
First attempt was to install centos 4.5 i386. It told me it could not find anything to install on. After a post to the list I was instructed to not do typical, but custom and select LSILogic as the controller. I did and I got past that point.
I then goto into an install with 6 minutes remaining on screen and another lock up.
Anyone else experiences this with vmware. Is it something I am not doing or its just not going to work for me?
I have a stock centos 4.5 X86 AMD X2 as my host and was installing a centos 4.5 i386 guest. Thanks, I was almost there.

I've gotten it to work before. From a hazy memory all I had to do was select RedHat 4 as a system type, and run the installer in text mode.
The VMWare forums have a ton of good information, did you try searching there? http://communities.vmware.com/index.jspa
Oh and check the premade images VMWare offers. They call them appliances, but they are just premade images. http://www.vmware.com/appliances/ I know they have CentOS5.

Downloadable vmware-images for CentOS 4 and 5, prebuilt and updated, are available in the CentOS testing directory. See this bug tracker for details:

Hi,
I am currently uploading the latest versions. I had to delete the former ones (disk space issue on the server).
Cheers,
Tru
