Re: [CentOS] Issue installing Centos server on Vmware Fusion/Server

[Madhurranjan Mohaan]

Hi,

Thanks for the responses. I was trying with Vmware server and Vmware fusion.

Hakan - you're right . Choosing the other vm along with Linux 2.6.x
kernel  allows me to install the server bit. This is with Vmware fusion.
With Vmware Workstation, that option doesn't quite appear.  With the above
other and linux 2.6 kernel option, it provides it with 384MB of Ram and
8GB hard disk.  In this case you can't change the Ram which is weird again .

Surprisingly, every time you choose a different option,  you'll get
different settings of Ram and Hard disk .  If you choose Centos and 64bit
it allocates it 1gb ram and 20gb hard disk by default . You can change the
hard disk value though.

Booting with 384MB ram , the gui installer complains saying it doesn't have
enough memory to run but the command line Centos setup comes up correctly
but there is no network interface! Seems to be a crazy exercise . I guess I
need to play with a few more options here.

[CentOS] Issue installing Centos server on Vmware Fusion/Server

[Madhurranjan Mohaan]

Hi All,

I've had issues over the last few days trying to create a Centos server
image . I've tried with Vmware fusion and Vmware server and it skips
directly to the default desktop install and doesn't give me the option to
run the linux server. I am not sure if you've seen this earlier. I've tried
with Centos 5.8 and 6.0 but the installer seems to work in that manner .

Thoughts around how to fix this ?

Thanks
