Eve.8ryone,
I have had a SuperMicro machine running Centos 5.8 that had been progressively updated with yum-cron from a 5.0 CD install.
I upgraded the SuperMicro with more memory, switched out the CD with a DVD and tried to boot to the Centos x64 6.2 dvd. My plan was to test the memory before I added the hard drives, but I could not I could not get the machine to boot from the disc. I also tried some Fedora install discs as well as LiveFedora and the machine would still not boot. I could get it to boot with a dreaded Microsoft install disc. We also updated the bios with the latest version and this did not make a difference.
We have not tried to use these disks with the hard drives installed yet because we were in the process of just testing the memory.
Has anyone had this problem with SuperMicro's. Is the problem as simple as a requirement to have a hard disc installed. Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Greg Ennis

Make sure, in the BIOS, that booting from the DVD is enabled. Also - you *have* booted from the dvd on another machine, right?
I *hate* Supermicro. As I mentioned the other day on another thread, we've stopped buying from Penguin, who are all Supermicro, and we have had a *ton* of problems. With the 48-core and 64-core servers, which you'd think would be top of the line, with the H8QG6 m/bs, we've had at least, um, 6 replaced out of under 30.

Mark,
Thanks for the reply. yes, the bios for the DVD is activated, and in fact we have booted to a Microsoft OS with the same DVD, but have not been able to boot to a linux os; this has been a real surprise for us.

Ok. Next question: what *happens* when you try to boot? Do you get anywhere? Are there any errors showing up onscreen?

Mark,
We get a one line descriptor at the top of the screen that starts out with
ISOLINUX .......
Sorry, but I can not remember the full line.
The system then hangs at this point, and after this is displayed it does not appear that the DVD drive is accessed again. At least the light on the DVD does not blink again.

If you can boot another server from this DVD, it suggests that there's a driver missing, though if this is an install disk, that's odd. Have you tried <ctrl><alt><f4> or f5? IIRC, those should show what goes into dmesg.

Mark,
I have installed 4 other machines with this same DVD disc. The only thing that is a little different is that we have not attached a hard disc drive to the SuperMicro yet, we were only at the point of testing the memory.
Thanks for your advice about <ctrl><alt>F4 I will not be able to try this until I can get to the machine, prob 24 hrs. I'll let you know what happens.

Here's a thought: in the BIOS, in boot order, is the DVD *first*?

Mark,
I sure appreciate your help. Unfortunately, that was one of the first things I did. Joe Eubank is helping me on this project, and he just sent me a note that he was able to get Centos to boot from a usb stick so we may be able to bypass our problem. I'll keep everyone informed so others can benefit from our trial and error.

Ok. Let me start by saying we have some honkin' hot servers (48 & 64 cores), and they'd had *some* problems, but when we went from 5.x to 6.x, we started seeing more problems... as in a userspace, computation-*very*-intense multithreaded program able to crash the whole box, and send it back to the OEM (Penguin), and they decide to replace the m/b.
Given that, I'm suspecting you've got a similar problem. Why on install, I don't know, but I'm wondering about the board.

I have about 20 servers with Supermicro boards, and there was a fair amount of instability under 6.3 (hangs for no apparent reason every couple of weeks on about a quarter of the machines). Since I updated to 6.4, everything has been solid. YMMV, of course.

Well…I found few messages about it, and it looks like people aren't sure about the cause…software bug ? BIOS bug ? Isolinux guys report it to BIOS, and of course we don't hear about BIOS guys.

I wanted to post a follow up note on this thread to help others that have this same problem.
The CentOs 6.0 dvd has worked perfectly which means we can install CentOS on this machine. The 6.2 and 6.4 dvd's were not usable and would not boot.
It does not appear that this problem is getting much attention, so we may have some difficulty with 6.+ or 7.

why 6.2 which is no longer supported? Burn and verify a 6.4 version and report back. Your issue might already have been solved if you CPU/chipset was not supported by 6.2 but only since 6.3 or 6.4...

You are right, I was just being lazy. We are in the process of creating a 6.4 DVD. It is just too easy to "yum -y update" :) I had 5.8 on this system and there was no problem.
