Hi. I've been running CentOS 5 for ages. (Thanks!)
I went to install 6.3 - I downloaded the 64-bit DVD 1 image, and put it on a USB drive. Booted into a screen that said boot will start in 10.. 9... 8.. 7.. 6.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. 10.. and so on, infinite loop, the boot never starts.
I tried booting in text mode, but it doesn't boot, just goes back to the menu.
Is there some way to find out why the centos installer refuses to start?
I used to have CentOS 5 on this system. I'd expect 6 to work.
Have you checked the integrity of the image on the USB drive or the USB drive itself? Have you Googled your problem to see if anybody else has experienced the same thing?
Alternatively, you could download the net install iso (it's very small) & burn a copy of that. Or if you have access to Apache somewhere, you can copy the DVD iso to /var/www/html/ & do a network install from there. Same thing goes for an NFS install (I've no idea of what resources you have).
