Has anyone managed to install Scientific Linux 6 (SL6) on VMware
player?  I tried installing it today and was unable to get it to work:

* SL6 can not see the SCSI virtual disk

* While the IDE disk works, SL6 either freezes on install or update.
One time, I got a kernel message about a disk I/O error before the
system froze up.

I have given the guest 512MB of memory and the host is an Intel Atom
N455 without VT-x.

I am able to install SL6 on VirtualBox, and everything works (albeit
more slowly than I would like)
