I'm trying to reinstall CentOS on a machine I've reconditioned for it,
is it really working? check for broken memory chips and so..
The memory was working perfectly before I put it into this boc (came out of another one that's been running for months).
but for reasons I can't fathom, when the installation disk comes up and prompts for the install type, and I type either <enter> (graphics isntall) or "linux text"<enter>, after it loads the initrd image, the machine shuts off.
It's an older machine I built myself (and ran CentOS on for a number of years), AMD Athlon 64 x2, 2GB of memory, 2 SATA hard drives, ECS GE6100PM-M2 motherboard.
What error messages it displays?
None - the dots print out, then the screen goes black and the machine shuts off.
