What does "it wouldn't take" means? Can you give us some better idea? details. Could it be just a graphic mode? Did you try to change kernel parameters? Was there any error shown?
What were exact models involved so we can see hardware involved?
The exact details were that I loaded the CentOS 6 Live CD & when it finally came to the desktop there were no menus, no trackpad interaction & no input facilities at all. Had to shut down via the power button.
After that I decided to use 5.6 or 5.7 because I knew they worked. I didn't go any further on troubleshooting the issue with v.6 because I'm on a tight schedule at the moment work-wise. I'm using for CentOS a Lenovo IBM ThinkPad T42 1.7 GHz i386 Centrino with 1GB of RAM & a 40GB hard drive.
I think that if you yum install the CR repo, it will likely work OK on the Thinkpad ... at least one of our devels uses a think pad and it "works for him". Though, I do not know the exact thinkpad version he has.
