JeOS CentOS Linux 5.5 [template] VM fails to boot

Greetings,

Running VMWare Studio virtual appliance 2.6 in VMWare Workstation 7.1 on x64 running XP-SP3. .
Downloaded CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso
In VMWare Studio:
Create profile using template 'JeOS CentOS Linux 5.5 [template]'
Used all default settings except:

os tab: user accounts, add user, testuser

output tab: output format: OVF OVA ZIP
output tab:IP address deployment choices: Prompt for an IP address, and retrieve additional parameters from an IP Pool, and check DHCP and Fixed or Transient
Validate: Profile validation passed, no errors found
Save and Build

No application packages, just building a test virtual appliance

This successfully creates OVF OVA ZIP

Download zip, unzip, contains vmdk and vmx files

VMWare Workstation, open existing VM, find my vmx, open; guest OS shows as 'other' not CentOS;

power on, VMWare logo shows for approx 2 seconds, then back to VM powered off screen

Log files attached: verbose log: jeosverb.txt , debug log: jeosdbg.txt

As a test, I created a VM with profile using template 'CentOS Linux 5.5 [template]'. This VM boots and is fully functional.

Thank in advance for assistance.
