Hello,<br><br>I want to install CentOS 4.4 on a Compaq Proliant DL 360.<br>The installation fails just after booting on the first CD.<br>Linux tries to autodetect hardware and fails with the CDROM.<br>Here is the error message:
<br>##########################<br>hdc: CD-224E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive<br>Using cfq io scheduler<br>ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15<br>ide-cd: cmd 0x5a timed out<br>hdc: lost interrupt<br>ide-cd: cmd 0x5a timed out<br>

hdc: lost interrupt<br>
CDROM 24x ....<br>ide-cd: cmd 0x25 timed out<br>##########################<br>I can install a RHEL4 ES on the same server whitout problem.<br><br>I noticed that CentOS and RHEL use 2 different kernels to boot the 1st CD (in isolinux folder).
<br>So I tried to replace the CentOS kernel with the one I found on RHEL CD.<br>And it works, the kernel boots, but my CentOS CD is not recognize anymore as a CentOS CD.<br><br>Why CentOS didn't recognize my CDROM?<br>What should I modify in order to install CentOS using the RHEL kernel?
