So stage two of the saga, I thought I would try to install CentOS 6.5 (I had the dvds burned already). It boots, but claims the install image is corrupt.
I re-downloaded CentOS 6.6, verified the checksums and burned a new dvd set. it boots, but when I test the media, it says the same thing (install image has errors). If I try to skip media checks, it just ejects the disk and says insert the CentOS disk.
I burned a new set of disks, identical behavior.
I downloaded from a completely different mirror, validated checksums and burned new disks. I get identical behavior.
I'm not sure what to do next, but I need to get this machine back up and running. I'm thinking of getting a different boot disk to install 5.11 to. I have no idea why CentOS 6.6 refuses to install.
I've had something similar decades ago. Turned out to be cable connectors worked loose in their sockets when I was futzing around with hardware.
Might be the making sure cables, memory, etc. are all well-seated?
