Yes, it was. in that case, its unlikely that CentOS-6/x86_64 will not work, if the CentOS-5/x86_64 distro worked fine. Can you provide some details about the machine spec ? -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219| Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Have you tried using the livecd/dvd to boot the machine and see if things work there ? was it x86_64 that you were running CentOS-5 with ? -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219| Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'm surprised there is no error message to give the user a clue of what's going wrong... was it x86_64 that you were running CentOS-5 with ? Yes, it was.

[CentOS] 6.3 installer keeps cycling in a 10 second countdown to boot
Hi. I've been running CentOS 5 for ages. (Thanks!) I went to install 6.3 - I downloaded the 64-bit DVD 1 image, and put it on a USB drive. Booted into a screen that said boot will start in 10.. 9... 8.. 7.. 6.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. 10.. and so on, infinite loop, the boot never starts. I tried booting in text mode, but it doesn't boot, just goes back to the menu. Is there some way to find out why the centos installer refuses to start? I used to have CentOS 5 on this system. I'd expect 6 to work. Thanks, Aleksey ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Alternatively, you could download the net install iso (it's very small) burn a copy of that. Or if you have access to Apache somewhere, you can copy the DVD iso to /var/www/html/ do a network install from there. Same thing goes for an NFS install (I've no idea of what resources you have).
