JeOS CentOS Linux 5.5 [template] VM fails to boot

[lbalders]

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.

I've made some progress, but still No Joy.

'jeoser' apparently acts, trimming OS packages, depending upon which application packages to be loaded.

So I retried build specifying application packages - and got a successful build.

VM Guest-OS is still 'other', not CentOS 5.5.

Power-on VM results in power-off after 3 or so seconds.

Attached files:

VMWare Studio verbose log: jeosver2.log

VMWare Studio debug log: jeosdbg2.txt

VMWare Workstation log for VM power-on: vmware.log

The pertinent portion of vmware.log:

Apr 27 16:04:23.013: vmx| Msg_Post: Error
Apr 27 16:04:23.013: vmx| [msg.guestos.noname] The configuration file does not specify a guest operating system.
Apr 27 16:04:23.013: vmx| Please select a guest operating system from the General page on the Options tab of Virtual Machine Settings.
Apr 27 16:04:23.013: vmx| ----------------------------------------

Thank you.

Just edit the settings and under Option, choose Linux instead of Other and the VM will boot.
