Hi. I've been running CentOS 5 for ages. (Thanks!)
I went to install 6.3 - I downloaded the 64-bit DVD 1 image, and put it on a USB drive. Booted into a screen that said boot will start in 10.. 9... 8.. 7.. 6.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. 10.. and so on, infinite loop, the boot never starts.
I tried booting in text mode, but it doesn't boot, just goes back to the menu.
Is there some way to find out why the centos installer refuses to start?
I used to have CentOS 5 on this system. I'd expect 6 to work.
Thanks, Aleksey

Have you checked the integrity of the image on the USB drive or the USB drive itself? Have you Googled your problem to see if anybody else has experienced the same thing?
Alternatively, you could download the net install iso (it's very small) & burn a copy of that. Or if you have access to Apache somewhere, you can copy the DVD iso to /var/www/html/ & do a network install from there. Same thing goes for an NFS install (I've no idea of what resources you have).

Dear all,
I install centos 6.3-64bit in a new server and also installed KVM using yum. Then I create a new virtual machine(i686) to install windows xp, but it's very slow, do you know why?
Server: CPU: i7 3370, Memory: 16GB. Virtual machine: 1 cpu and 1GB ram.
KVM information: qemu 4223 1 9 15:10 ? 00:00:41 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -S -M rhel6.3.0 -cpu SandyBridge,+osxsave,+tsc-deadline,+pdcm,+xtpr,+tm2,+est,+smx,+vmx,+ds_cpl,+monitor,+dtes64,+pbe,+tm,+ht,+ss,+acpi,+ds,+vme -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name xpt1 -uuid 36020e9b-d9b8-e831-7278-22adab258263 -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/xpt1.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=localtime,driftfix=slew -no-shutdown -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/xpt1.img,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=raw,cache=none -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=1 -drive if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -netdev tap,fd=22,id=hostnet0 -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:f5:5f:6a,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -vnc 127.0.0.1:2 -vga std -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5

looks like your machine does not have the x86_64 capable cpu/bios combo needed to boot the kernel. Have you tried using the livecd/dvd to boot the machine and see if things work there ?
was it x86_64 that you were running CentOS-5 with ?

I'll try booting off DVD next, thanks.
I'm surprised there is no error message to give the user a clue of what's going wrong...

Yes, it was.
Thanks, Aleksey

Yes, it was.
in that case, its unlikely that CentOS-6/x86_64 will not work, if the CentOS-5/x86_64 distro worked fine.
Can you provide some details about the machine spec ?
