Hi, this is the first time I install linux on a dell server. Simply I booted from a centos 5.5 x64 dvd but I cant see the disks.. is there something I miss ? thanks very much for any help
1: Comfirm your boot menu settings 2: Comfirm your BIOS settings (CD/DVD is active) 3: Verify your download (md5sum / sha1sum). 4: Try the DVD in another system 5: Burn and try another disk 6: Try another boot option / medium: flash, PXE/kickstart, etc.
If you're provisioning a datacenter or multiple systems, I'd jump straight to #6 myself.
