Hey,

I tested centOS in vmware player (512MB, 1 IDE disk) and bumped into a post install failure to boot.
While the minimal install works all the way, the Basic server one fails at the first post-install boot with following:

  modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-71.el6.i686/modules.dep: No such file or directory
  ...
  No root device found
  ...
  Boot has failed, sleeping forever

I used the same partioning scheme as the minimal that is working fine...
/boot ext4 sda1
swap on sda2
/ on sda3

Tried with a SCSI disk image, and Basic server works fine...


Known issue with IDE?

Thx,

JD
