Any suggestions? > Correct me if I am wrong but you moved this bowser vm from openvz to vmware. If so, how about if you start by going to the vmware console and checking the configuration for bowser? Maybe it by default set it to be a 64bit CPU instead of 32bit.
Once you have that, if your problems are still happening I would suggest checking if bowser knows which boot partition it should use. > Christopher Wensink > IS Administrator > Five Star Plastics, Inc > 1339 Continental Drive > Eau Claire, WI 54701 > Office: 715-831-1682 > Mobile: 715-563-3112 > Fax: 715-831-6075 > cwens...@five-star-plastics.com > www.five-star-plastics.com > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
