My "GUESS" is the SATA DVD. Is there an IDE port available to try? doesn't say in the spec sheet.
Also, maybe a post on the Dell Server Linux support list.

Theres a post on how to boot from USB, FWIW.... http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=pes_other&... message.id=20285&query.id=33473#M20285
A quick Google search on Centos sata DVD showed a few others having issues, not just on Dell.

I have a new dell t105(opty 1210's with 4 gigs of ram..sata hdd's and sata dvd-rom). I can bot to the Cent 5 64 bit dvd fine but once it asks where the install image is i tell it cd-rom..then it rejects the dvd spits it out and tells me it's not there. the same happens on 32 bit. I have downloaded centos5 twice now, md5 verified..and even burned at 1x(that took forever). Any ideas as to why it refuses to see a disk that's there, properly burned, and verified?
