Good morning,
I hate to bother everyone again, but I'm having some more trouble. I have a new machine with an MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard (ATI Xpress200 chipset) and a Hammer DVD Writer (shows up as a Matshita DVD-RAM SW-9585). I get the CD to start (in text mode - don't know why I can't do VGA or better), and it asks me What type of media contains the packages to be installed. I choose CDROM and then it says:
The CentOS-4 x86_64 CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the CentOS x86_64 CD and press OK to retry.
The funny thing is that this is Disk 1 of x86_64. Any ideas? I've tried a couple of different download sites and I always get the same problem.
TIA!
Jeff

have you md5sum verified the original downloaded iso ?
have you run the media check from the installer ? ( should be the very first step, pre install )

Yes. Still the same problem.
are you using this against an older firmware running on the 3ware-8xxx cards by any chance ?
apart from that - well, network install comes to mind right away. and trouble shoot the issue later.

Nope - no 3ware cards. I'll try the network install and see what I can get to work.
Thanks!

I'm not familiar with the mother board that you're using, but one thing I noticed, you're trying to load the version that's for 64 bit processors. Are you sure your processor is 64 bit,instead of 32bit? If you're running a 32 bit processor, alot of times the version for them is named "something,something, I586, something,something". Something else to consider too, there's always the chance that the dvd drive might be going bad. If the 64bit version is the correct version for you, you might want to try inserting a different cd or dvd drive, and see if you have any better luck that way. Hope that helps Jim On Tue, 2006-05-30 at 07:27 -0400, Jeffrey B. Layton wrote:

the 64bit kernel used on the x86_64 distro will not boot a i386 machine. the fact that he is getting a prompt to find the media, indicates he already has a functional kernel.
Something I forgot to mention last night, your video problem maybe the ATI chipset. I don't know why, but on all the linux user's emailing lists that I'm on,problems with ATI video controllers come up quite frequently . The video controllers that people seem to be having the best luck with are Nvidia, and SIS. I'm sure that other members of this list know of other video controllers that work also. To the best of my knowledge, the linux distro that seems to support the ATI controllers the best is Mandriva, formerly known as Mandrake Hope this helps Jim On Tue, 2006-05-30 at 07:27 -0400, Jeffrey B.

Jim,
Thanks for the heads up. I finally got CentOS to install. I had to run the disk check before I could install (weird). Anyway, it installed just fine. Then I upgraded the kernel and installed the ATI drivers. It works just fine now (but I need a new mouse :) ).
Thanks!
