Bruno,
I think you misunderstood my message. This has nothing to do with the
VMWare host kernel drivers.
I'm trying to install CentOS-4 into a virtual machine in VMWare
Workstation running on a Fedora Core 3 host.
I am not trying to install VMWare Workstation itself on a physical
machine running CentOS-4.
The default virtual machine configuration for a Linux virtual machine is
to emulate a SCSI controller and a SCSI hard drive.
I have an identical virtual machine running CentOS-3 with no problems.
