That's essentially what I did.
I just tried it again, and I saw that it halted at
"waiting for hardware to initialize...",
so maybe it is a hardware issue.
I was trying to install CentOS-6.0 on an HP MicroServer.
(As I explained, after trying PXEboot I actually installed it
by using a USB stick.)

The strange thing is that it succeeded with CentOS-5.6,
on the same machine, and I don't see any relevant difference.
