Hi all,
I tried to install centos 4.5 i386 as a guest on an AMD x2 machine today.
It told me it did not find any install media. I had created an 8G disk
for it.
Is there a SCSI driver I need to "Add" when prompted? I have never used
SCSI
and dont know which SCSI controller vmware is emulating.
What driver do I need to load?
I was then surprised some time later when my machine locked up. Typically
my machine is fine. only thing different is today I install vmware
server 1.0.4.
After the reboot it has been fine again - but I have not restarted vmware.
Thanks,
Jerry
VMWare emulates 2 different scsi controllers, LSI logic and Buslogic. The
trouble is that the default in VMWare is Buslogic, while the RedHat based
distros no longer ship with that driver. You need to create the disk image
using the LSILogic controller, which you can select if you use custom instead
of typical when you create your VM image.
