I've installed DSL linux -- no problem My expertise is in the HP3000 (non windows, non unix) environment.
When I boot from Centos CD#1 I get a Panic error..... I'm thinking hardware is the issue so I try a different machine, same thing. I've tried 'linux rescue', 'linux mem=256' still the same error, which is mostly unreadable to me because most all the messages roll off the top of the screen.
I am willing to buy new hardware, what hardware will just work right out of the box?
Or are there other boot options?

Have you tried to check the media?
At boot:
linux mediacheck
Check each CD as it prompts you to replace them. If that fails try it with DMA turned off.
linux mediacheck ide=nodma
If everything passes, try the install with the nodma option then. That has caused me grief in the past.

Perhaps you should state your hardware where you tested CentOS, but most older hardware(server hardware) is known to be compatible with CentOS.
