Hello All. I have a dell optiplex 320 that I can install centos5 on using pci=nomsi. That seems to be the only way. After the install grub loads but thats about as far as it gets. It looks like a BIOS bug to me, but I just don't know. I left it sit for a few minutes and it just had the echoed boot params on the screen.
I've tried booting with noapic nolapic apm=off acpi=off and noprobe but can't get any farther than this. Anyone know if this thing will boot?
Thanks

Hi,
This may help if you don't mind using lilo.

Thanks - Will lilo work with LVM on the root partition? (centos5 default)
