As Mark (mhr) mentioned, it might not run on that box. I suggest you download the "Live CD" for CentOS 5.2 and test it with that. If it doesn't run on the Live CD, it probably is not going to run on that box..... GL
Trying in graphical mode and text mode, I get a lot of errors message such as: SQUASHFS error Unable to read page, block 2a673ccd, srclength 65536 SQUASHFS error zlib_fs returned unexpected result 0xfffffffd size 5230
I verified iso image (sha1sum) before burning it. k3b (Fedora Core 6) report burn successful. Is there a way with the Live CD to check the media before using it?
Just a thought along another tack: have you verified the hardware is good? That thouyght strikes me because of the nature of the messages you are getting. I have a mainboard with the VIA 8237 chipset and nvidia graphics (I don't recall which model ATM) and run 5.x w/o problems.
If the unit has been around a long time, try re-seating all the memory, cables, PS connectors, etc. Have you run a memtest86(?). Does a visual inspection show any signs of distress on the board (discoloration of capacitors, leaking, etc)?
Check BIOS settings too - maybe something set wrongly? Is the CMOS battery good? Do BIOS settings hold?
