I am agree with the above user as Centos 5 and Red Hat use the Xen kernel which is not supported by Vmware tools and thus You will have to reboot machine to a non-xen kernel from Grub. Then eliminate xen and the kernel-xen packages first in order to start the further process.
As you have eliminated the packages you have to now state which kernel you wish to run in /boot/grub/grub.conf. In that file there’s a list of kernels available to boot from:
Code:
#boot=/dev/sda
default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.18-92.1.10.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.img
title CentOS (2.6.18-92.1.10.el5xen)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5xen ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
module /boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5xen.img
