Re: [CentOS] Installer stopped short

I just tried to install a CentOS 5 desktop on very recent hardware, an Acer desktop machine. The installer stopped short very early. I gave Ubuntu 8.04 a shot, and it installed without a problem. Now what can I do about this?

Is there a way to use some "enhanced" kernel (like the centos.plus kernel) to perform the install? I guess what's missing there is a specific driver for something (SATA drive? Processor?).

You have to provide specific error messages from the install logs and be very specific on your hardware. Do some "homework" however. With 5.3 beta out you can become a beta tester with your hardware.
