[CentOS] Unable to install CentOS 5.2 on New HP Intel Core 2 Quad
Our new lab has HP Intel Core 2 Quad systems with DVD/CDRW and SATA. I can provide the model number if needed. They stop on kernel startup when trying to boot the CentOS 5.2 boot CD. It is during ACPI. I have tried linux noprobe and linux pci=noacpi and linux noprobe pci=noacpi. I still cannot get to the first install screen. Fedora 10 Live will not but up either. I am using Fedora 9 from Live and DVD Install to teach a fall class and it works fine. Would CentOS 5.3 possibly work once it is released? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It is during ACPI. Model #'s would be good, even some cheap units have quad cores now, so its Impossible to guess. Most certainly support RH - CentOS. Check the Manual, there are likely some BIOS settings you need tweaked. jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I am using Fedora 9 from Live and DVD Install to teach a fall class and it works fine. Are the CentOS and fed 10 DVDs of a similar type, and different to the DVD you used with fed 9? Or is your CentOS on CDs? A common problem I have is that some DVD drives really don't like some brands of disc. Some have issues with DVD-R's, some have issues with DVD+R's, some seem to be completely random. ymmv, but if the failing discs are the same brand, it's probably your cheapest quickest solution to reburn on a different brand and see if that helps. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923www.knossos.net.nz ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
