I'm trying to install CentOS 5.5 on a couple of servers of type IBM<br>
System x3550 M3, but it's not going too well. Actually, the install<br>
setup phase runs as expected, and the actual installation also appears<br>
to be successful, but the system will not boot - I just get a message<br>
(presumably) from BIOS saying that boot from hard disk 0. If I start the<br>
installer again after this, or boot rescue mode off the install DVD, the<br>
installation is correctly found, however.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any idea what may cause this and/or how I can fix the<br>
problem? Or is there at least anyone out there who has tried CentOS on<br>
the same type of hardware?<br>
<br>
Note that I've tried (re)installing several times, and also tested<br>
CentOS 5.4, but the result is always the same. I've also used CentOS<br>
without any problems on an x3550 M2, i.e. a slightly older variant of<br>
the hardware. I've (so far) installed with the default disk layout and<br>
package selection.<br>
