Hi All,

I am trying to run CentOS 5.3-x86_64 in a Vmware Fusion virtual machine on my Mac Pri (10.5.6)

My install starts OK, checks media and then I get a message saying

"The CentOS CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the CentOS CD and press OK to retry".

I have booted from the media though, so I don't understand...

Any thoughts?

Are you using an ISO file or physical media? DVD or CD? Not sure if that matters. In either case, make sure the device is still connected to the VM - have seen cases in VMware Server or Workstation where an ISO file gets disconnected after the media check and has to be manually reconnected.

The other case that exhibits this symptom I have only seen on physical hardware with a SATA DVD/CD drive that boots but then is not recognized by anaconda. What type of connection is the drive on?
