Hi,
I have downloaded several different sets of the 64-bit ISOs, and have burned them to CD using various of my known-good ISO burning softwares, including Nero and DeepBurn on Windows, as well as the native CD burning KDE linux tool on Xandros Linux. I am using mirrors from the site, like kernel.org.
I have chosen low burning speeds also, but when I insert the ISO CD into a server and boot it up, the ISO doesn't work. I have all of the BIOs/boot settings perfect, the machine is definitely 64-bit, and even when I insert another OS, like Fedora, or Whitebox, it works fine.
Is there something i'm not doing, or doing wrong when burning these 64 bit CD's? I'm in a colo facility and would really like to leave here having converted a bunch of my WBEL and FC boxes to 64-bit Centos.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you check the md5 sums?

of course, I did all of the requisite checking, i'm looking for a deeper explanation of why this actually isn't working, but thanks for double checking.

Sounds like your burner is going bad or you got a bad set of blank discs.

I am not trying to insult you, but did you actually burn the ISO using the burn image to disk option in Nero or did you just do a data disk and then copy the iso over to the disk.

I swapped the CDROM and that was OK, then I chose another mirror and they're working fine... I used Xandros Linux and loaded a free app under Crossover Office called Deepburn for windows....

Hi,
Before saying anything, I would advise that before attempting to burn is to check the md5sum.
I do not think this is isolated to the 64 bit release. Since moving to CentOS I have been able to record the DVD iso's with all manner of DVD recording software on many machines and operating systems. However, unless I use growisofs, disks created with other software will not boot on any of in 10 test machines I have.
I do:
growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=path_to_iso_file/centos_dvd_iso_file_i_want.iso
(hdc is my DVD recorder, yours maybe different)
This issue needs to be be looked at in relation to how Redhat build their disk images be that RHEL or Fedora to give CentOS the same quality of disk images.
Regards
Phil

firstly, md5sum check the iso's that you got.
secondly, make sure you are using the correct 64-bit arch for your machine. there is x86_64 for Opterons and Xeons's with lm support, there is Ia64 for Itaniums, there is alpha, ppc, sparc that work on their respective platforms.
finally, once you have burned the isos' - try mounting the cd's in a different machine and check if you can see the contents ?
I had the same problem with 64bit system. Never found out the problem.

Also, I noticed that the IA 64 and the x86_64 are easy to confuse due to their syntactical naming, easy to just choose the IA at first sight.
