Hi. I've been running CentOS 5 for ages. (Thanks!)

excellent!

I went to install 6.3 - I downloaded the 64-bit DVD 1 image, and put it on a USB drive. Booted into a screen that said boot will start in 10.. 9... 8.. 7.. 6.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. 10.. and so on, infinite loop, the boot never starts.

looks like your machine does not have the x86_64 capable cpu/bios combo needed to boot the kernel. Have you tried using the livecd/dvd to boot the machine and see if things work there ?

was it x86_64 that you were running CentOS-5 with ?
