Hi All,
I have a new system that is dual AMD's. I have a CentOS 5.4 x64 dvd.
I power on the machine It boots to the CentOS media I had in the dvd drive I start the install it comes up and asks me where I have CentOS, I select 'Local CD' and I get that a message saying CentOS install files cannot be found. Strange because it boots to it!
What could be the issue?
Have you verified that packages actually exists on the DVD?

I have used this DVD before for installs on other systems.

to double check that the DVD is still OK: get the mount point from device mapper
md5sum /media/hdc
and compare result with the value posted on any C5 mirror for your media.
If you still have the iso, setup a network install (requires another machine) by mounting the iso and exporting it as nfs. IIRC, the C5 installer won't support harddrive installs from media found locally.
On another box: #mkdir /mnt/repo #mount -t iso9660 /Path-to/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso /mnt/repo -o loop #echo "/mnt/repo/ *(sync)" >> /etc/exports #/etc/init.d/nfs restart
now back at your new dual-AMD setup, grab the diskboot.img from the /images folder of the DVD/iso.
either dd that IMG file to a USB flash, or boot it with syslinux/memdisk from a fat32 partition already existing on your new system (not likely), or burn the boot.iso to a CD (also found in images).
Using a network install is much faster than via DVD.
