Hi, I'm new to CentOS and I want to install CentOS 5.2 on an intel computer to use it as a server. I downloaded the CentOS 5.2 DVD iso i386 and did the md5sum, burned the DVD and everything was Ok but when I try to boot the server with the DVD, it simply does nto boot, like if nothing were in the DVD drive. I tried with a Vista DVD and it boots. It can even boot from the LiveCD. Have anybody seen this behavior and how to solve it? I'm using Free Create/Burn ISO from NBXSOFT and I believe this is not the problem because with this software I created the LiveCD. I'm working on a Vista Ultimate computer to download, checksum and burn the DVD.
Thanks

Does the DVD boot on your Vista machine. You can power off the machine any time before you pick to format the drives without changing anything.
checkout the bugtracker..this is a long running issue. The issue stems from newer servers/computers using sata optical drives.

Which supports someone's suggestion in that bug report that it thinks the DVD is a CDROM ...

Looks like you mean: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2622
I think I have the same issue. I want to boot in the rescue mode on a Dell R200. The DVD drive is connected via SATA. It boots fine, but then when I tell it about the local CDROM installation it prompts me with "unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installation type" and asks to select a driver. I tried all sata_ drivers from the list, but none seems to work. I'm now going to give it a network path, but, nevertheless, shouldn't the DVD boot to rescue work just fine? It can boot from the DVD, but then cannot access the OS data? Weird.
