Better yet, created a new "custom" VM, it then lets you select LSI, and now
it boots fine...

Manually edit the vmx file, and added the following, and it seems to have
worked ok...

scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic"

I'm using a somewhat outdated build of the "VMware server console". It
doesn't 
even have RHEL5 (or CentOS5) as "Guest OS". I just set it to RHEL4 (or
"Other 
Linux, 2.6 Kernel" works as well) and then it works out of the box with 
simulated SCSI drives.

Can't even specify the controller in my build of VMware, but Steve's 
suggesting rings a bell, as I have heard about that before. So yeah, if it 
lets you pick the controller, choose the non-default one.
