Hello,
I want to install CentOS 4.4 on a Compaq Proliant DL 360. The installation fails just after booting on the first CD. Linux tries to autodetect hardware and fails with the CDROM. Here is the error message: ########################## hdc: CD-224E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Using cfq io scheduler ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 ide-cd: cmd 0x5a timed out hdc: lost interrupt ide-cd: cmd 0x5a timed out hdc: lost interrupt CDROM 24x .... ide-cd: cmd 0x25 timed out ########################## I can install a RHEL4 ES on the same server whitout problem.
I noticed that CentOS and RHEL use 2 different kernels to boot the 1st CD (in isolinux folder). So I tried to replace the CentOS kernel with the one I found on RHEL CD. And it works, the kernel boots, but my CentOS CD is not recognize anymore as a CentOS CD.
Why CentOS didn't recognize my CDROM? What should I modify in order to install CentOS using the RHEL kernel?
Thanks

Is your RHEL install CD the same version as that of your CentOS install media? i.e. you're installing CentOS 4.4, is your RHEL media RHEL 4 Update 4?
If not, you could always download the install media for the equivalent CentOS release, install that then update to 4.4 via Yum.
Will.
Hello,
You were right. I was not using RHEL 4 Update 4 installation CD. Using the proper RedHat CD leads to the same problem (I cannot boot on the installation CD). I will try to ask RedHat for a solution. Thank you for your help

Or just boot from an 4.3 cd and use yum to upgrade. You will have the same thing as installing from a 4.4 cd.

I solved my problem by using the kernel parameter : "acpi=noirq" Thank you for your help
