I am attempting to install CentOS-5.0 from CD-ROM onto an HPQ- DC7700 Dual Core machine. The standard install seems to halt at, or immediately after, this point in the setup process is displayed on the console:
<Enter> {default install option} ... CPU1: Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 CPU 4300 @ 1.8GHz stepping 02 ... ACPI: Assume root bridge [_sb_.pc10] bus is 0.
I would like to get this box running so any help with this is greatly appreciated. The reason for using CentOS-5.0 is because I do not which to wait 30 some odd hours to download new ISO images. The plan is to install from 5.0 and upgrade to 5.2.
last point. I am a digest subscriber so the favour of a direct reply (REPLY ALL) is requested.
Regards,

I use:
linux pci=nomsi,nommconf hda=noprobe hdc=noprobe
for the DC7[78]00 machines when installing CentOS.
The last two are needed to get the right driver for the SATA drives, else the disks are extremely slow. They need to be added to grub.conf after installation as well.
