similar to: Vmware on Centos 5

I'd like to make a CentOS-based VMware server. Anything I should consider before doing so? (e.g. stuff to disable, kernel tweaks, etc)

I am soon going to be setting up a box to run VMware server but have to make the choice between Centos 4.x or 5.x.. I have tested both and VMware installs in both.. So are there any pros or cons to either version or does it make no difference at all? TIA

Hello, On the Intel Core 2 Duo processor based systems, we have the option of installing either x86_64 or the i386 distribution. I would like to know your experiences with the x86_64 port. How does it compare with the i386 distribution in terms of stability, reliability and performance ? How significant are the performance benefits gained by using the x86_64 linux instead of i386 on the same

Dear all. I'm experiencing a weird crash with one of our desktop running CentOS 5.1 We have 5 machines identical, onle one has this problem. Right after it starts, it will kernel panic. Unfortunately, from the backtrace this is all I've managed to get : serial port isn't working. So it's a manual copy of what the screen show. [<c04721f3>] sync_buffer+0x0/0x33

I have a nice new 965 chipset mobo with core 2 duo cpu. I was wondering if anyone has any experiences with this chipset and CPU with 4.4 ? Does the jmicron sata/pata interface work ? Are both cores recongnized with the right kernel ? Does EIST work ? Or should I wait for Centos 5 ? Cheers, Brian.

Inconpatibility CentOS 5 64 Bit + VMware Server ? Bye Gio

I'm able to get ./configure to get past the Qt error but now it complains that kdelibs isn't installed, or the version of qt doesn't match kdelibs. Everything was yum installed, and this is on CentOs 5 64-bit. Thanks for additional configuration help. Scott

ok - I tried this too. But CentOS tries to find the floppy as /dev/hda which is not the device for the USB-Floppy. Dell ships one with the server because no one is integrated. So when I try to include the driver disk the installer is not able to find it. -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] Im Auftrag von Jim Perrin Gesendet:

Are there any possible undesirable effects of a BIOS upgrade? The worst I can think of is something that would change my SATA drives from being mapped as SCSI to being mapped as IDE. Ted Miller Indiana

I have to say that I was more that a bit surprised, if not to say dismayed when I booted a system with CentOS 5 installed to test a kickstart CD in interactive mode, took it to the custom partitioning screen, then rebooted without saving anything only to come up with a grub prompt, and the disk's partition table wiped. The ks.cfg file did say to wipe the disk when installing, but I would

Last Thursday, for some reason (possibly a power failure), my work desktop had a different video configuration than when I left Wednesday evening. I have two 17" flat panels configured as a two-head wide (side-by-side) single display. When I arrived on Thu, I had two individual desktops instead, the resolution was down to 800x600, and so on. The monitor type had been reset to generic
