Our new lab has HP Intel Core 2 Quad systems with DVD/CDRW and SATA. I can provide the model number if needed.
They stop on kernel startup when trying to boot the CentOS 5.2 boot CD. It is during ACPI.
I have tried linux noprobe and linux pci=noacpi and linux noprobe pci=noacpi.
I still cannot get to the first install screen.
Fedora 10 Live will not but up either.
I am using Fedora 9 from Live and DVD Install to teach a fall class and it works fine.
Would CentOS 5.3 possibly work once it is released?
