[CentOS] IBM BladeCenter HS20 blades

Greetings,

We have purchased an IBM BladeCenter and I am in the process of testing Linux installation on these things (boot off SAN i.e. qla2300 driver, not using internal drives). My distro of choice is Debian, however, since I'm really not interested in trying to hand compile all the drivers, I decided to try CentOS (which I'm so far very impressed with).

On boot, as with the Debian Sarge disk, the CDROM disappears. The installation media complains that it cannot find the CD. I'm testing using the DVD ISO of CentOS 4. Has anyone been successful in getting CentOS 3/4 installed on a BladeCenter server? I noticed back in 11/04 there were a few posts on it.

Thanks.

Brendon Colby
