I am I wrong? yes, the i686 has some additionnal instructions that a i586 does not have. I have no idea about the cpu listed there. Try C4 with the i586 or i686 (default) version. You will be fixed. C5 does not support i586 class cpu. There was a thread about it some days/weeks ago. Not much volonteer to do/support it and the CentOS team has other priorities ;). Is it the 128M memory issue? I thought I used to install with that much - especially in text mode. it's below the minimal recommended size (256MB). It may work, I haven't tried.

I just tried my old centos 4.4 i386 disk 1 did linux text mem=128M and the same thing. after vmlinuz.., and initrd... it just resets. Am I not boot with the correct options to get the 386 kernel and its trying to use the 686 kernel? now do: i586 text mem=128 :D signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
