I recently purchased a set of ASRock Intel i5 MB/CPU combos for a budget compute cluster. Every time we load up a system and try to boot with a recent EL6/64 ISO, we get a message that reads:
This hardware (or a combination thereof) is not supported by CentOS.
For more
information on supported hardware, plesae refer to
http://www.centos.org/hardware
Not only does the hardware *seem* to work to expectations, but the url referenced goes to 404!
Having loaded CentOS6 on many systems without ever seeing this message, I have to ask how to determine what might be triggering it and whether or not I should be concerned?
Thanks

what chipset and which core i5 (there's at least 3, maybe 4 generations of 'core i5' processors now)
do you still get that error after a `yum update -y` and a reboot ?

Chipset is Intel Q87. i5 4670, 3.4 Ghz, LGA1150 socket. ASROCK Q87 Vpro MB, 32 GB DDR3/1600 RAM.

Error only shows during the install, just before loading X11 for the setup. Again, I've had these systems torture tested for my needs for days without issue.
Just wondering if there's a way to figure out what caused the message, and/or if I should expect something to *not* work?

wild guess... that CPU is newer than the kernel in use by the installer, and it doesn't have any microcode updates for it.
also might be that X doesn't have the HD4600 graphics driver used by that chip. its quite possible a yum update brings in newer stuff that resolves this.

For information:
CentOS is a rebuild of Red Hat's RHEL product. CentOS removes references to Red Hat, in this case a reference to redhat.com. If you substitute 'redhat.com' for 'centos.org' you will get the original URL rather than a page not found error:
http://www.redhat.com/hardware

There is a bug report with respect to this non-existing link:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6667
And a solution will be to link to http://wiki.centos.org/hardware instead.

If it works, by all means use it.
CentOS has no "supported hardware" anyway
That is there because something about that hardware trips the RHEL support flag ... so you can't get support from Red Hat for that hardware :)
As other posts to the list have pointed out ... look at:
http://wiki.centos.org/hardware/
and
http://www.redhat.com/hardware/
