Hi folks
I am trying to install CentOS 5.2 in Vmware Server environment. In my VM disk space is not preallocated for the virtual disk (dynamically). The installer doesn't find the disk. When preallocating 6 GB there is no problem.
See screenshot[0]
Any ideas?
kind regards Sven

1) you are running a windows host 2) you are using a closed source but free software 3) there is no CentOS error message displayed
Any ideas?

I can't see anything to indicate why it doesn't show the disk, but I've used dynamic disks for installation before.

I exclusively use dynamic allocation and it works for me with CentOS 5.2 as a guest. Host is Ubuntu 8.10

You need to choose the "2.6" Kernel When choosing the type of install for a Red Hat type Install then it will find your disk...Anything other than that it will not find a disk or ask for drivers.

CentOS 5.2 and 4.7 work for me at the latest VMWare Workstation, Server and ESX :-)
