Unhappy Issues installing any Linux server distribution on VMware server!


Hello,

Unfortunately I am having many many issues installing any Linux distribution on my dedicated server which is running VMware ESXi 4.1. I am having no issues running any windows VMs, but every time I attempt to install a Linux VM it freezes. On Ubuntu the screen "shifts" then freezes (giving no errors), and on CentOS it starts installing, gets extremely little done, then errors. Here's the error CentOS displays:
"PANIC: early exception 0d rip 10:ffffffff8103eb79 error 0 cr2 0"
Here's a screenshot of what happens installing CentOS: http://prntscr.com/2stux1
Here's a picture of what happens when installing Ubuntu: http://prntscr.com/2stvk1
I have tried many things and unfortunately nothing is working . I think it may be some sort of disk-accessing issue, but if it is I have no clue how to find/fix the problem. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, as I really need to get a Linux VM up so I can eventually replace all the Windows VMs with Ubuntu ones . Thank you very very much for your assistance.

Thanks,
Sean.

Can you post any other ESXi configs? Such as how much RAM you're putting on the servers and any other set up options that you select when initially building the VM. Are you choosing the correct CPU architecture to go along with whatever distro you're installing?
