Well, thanks for the quick reply. Yea, I share your concerns w/ asterisk in a virtual environment as well, however, the only OS that I have had an issue running is anything CentOS based. I have Ubuntu, gentoo, and m$ products running perfectly fine on the machine, right now. Honestly, I can't afford to plunk down the cash to VMWare so, if I can't figure out the issue, I will be forced to just not use anything CentOS based. For now, I just grabbed another random PC and installed my asterisknow server on it. Thanks -Drew

Is there any known issues when trying to run CentOS (x86 or x64) on a
fresh install of vmware 4.1?
Details as to why I am asking are here in the CentOS forums:

Vmware, no. I have been using it for many release including yours for some time and I only use x64. The only difference is the hardware, that's a newer box than I have at any location and its amd, mine are all Intel. ESXi doesn't emulate a consistent proc, it passes it in. If the underlying hardware is problematic so is the vm. I didn't bother to check, but I would assume that platform is supported for RHEL 5 but possibly the combination is bad.
My only two suggestions:
- I wouldn't run asterisk in a vm if my life depended on it, tried many
times and it always came around sooner or later to remind me it didn't want that malarkey.
- Slap your 299.00 down on a single incidence at vmware, you'll almost
feel ripped off on how fast you will likely get the right answer. That's a big company dealing w/ very elaborate and large setups, someone will have been there and done that, I can assure you.
Email back your reso, I am curious to know. jlc _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
