Tearing our hair out on this one. Trying to install CentOS 5 x86_64 on a Supermicro X7DVL-E with 2 Xeon L5320 quad core CPUs, 3Ware SATA RAID controller in a mirrored setup and 4 GB of memory. Installation crashes at random places while copying the files. We've run memtest86 for 24 hours without any errors, replaced the RAID controller, motherboard and disks, but still no luck.

We have X7DBR-3 with 2x X5355 8 GB of RAM, nothing fancy but work fine here. How do you install? network/cdrom ? how does your kickstart looks like?

Try to add a serial console to log the output or syslog=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to remote syslog.
