Has anyone successfully installed CentOS 4.2 within VMWare 5 and have it run successfully. I tried doing this last night, but after the install, it cannot boot. It hangs at the GRUB message. I have used CentOS 4.1 many times within VMWare without problems. I did a search and found some where people have had this problem, but not within VMWare. The problems seem to have been related to SCSI devices. I know VMWare allows you to choose between two types of SCSI interfaces, but I chose the default presented (for RedHat Enterprise 4). Maybe I need to use a different VM configuration? Derek
