Specs AMD x2 64bit 3800+ EE Asus M2NBP-VM CSM 1 GIG RAM 60GIG HD IDE

I can get it to boot from the cd and select language etc, and then it askes where the install is coming from. Cd, hd, network etc.

The CDROM driver is not getting recognized by CentOS WHile BIOS is allowing it to boot but it is getting stuck after initial load. The way out would be to do a network (HTTP/FTP) install or find another CDROM.

What CDROM drive? of is it a DVD+CDRW?

-- Regards, Sudev Barar

It is an old pioneer dvd rom drive. Seems to work with other versions of linux no problem. I have booted fedora 6 live from it no problem.

Scandog

I got it working by setting pnp OS to no in the bios.

Thanks for the help

We were able to get a M2NPV-VM loaded with a USB CD-ROM, but ran into problems with the system rebooting properly. I don't think it does the x86_64 very well yet.

Asus BIOSes are lousy. You might have run into ACPI issues. I had to use 'acpi=off' to get things stable on a cheapo Asus manufactured board. I remember reading the same things about the M2N series.

I would recommend going with i386. We didn't notice any problems with i386.

try turning of acpi off first on a Asus board.
