Hi,
I've tried to install CentOS 5.2 on Core 2 Duo T5750 2.0Ghz laptop but what happens is every thing hangs up when anconda system installer starts. So I tried PCLinuxOS in it's text-based installer it detects the CPU core 1 and when it try to detected the other one system gets stuck. I tried these same two distro's on another PC that have a AMD X2 CPU on this PC I didn't had that problem everything went smoothly.
Thank you

Try installing with "linux acpi=off" (as the kernel command line for syslinux).
The kernel which gets installed should be able to handle the system after installation, the installer kernel sometimes has a few problems.
Cheers,

Also the following option might be necessary: pci=nommconf
That is, for example linux acpi=off pci=nommconf

Hi, I tried this option "linux acpi=off pci=nommconf" as well but the problem is when I use this I can install the OS but when try to boot on to the OS it's hang up on the boot up progress bar screen of the CentOS and I can't do any thing. So I checked it with the text mode loader it was the same problem can any one help me to over come this.
Thank you

Have you tried to run the CentOS LIve CD on your laptop? If that will not run properly, I doubt that you will get this to work properly.

By "the text mode loader" do you mean booting to runlevel 3?
You will probably find that anaconda put "acpi=off pci=nommconf" on the grub kernel line. Try interrupting the boot and typing "a" when grub starts and editing the line to delete those and "rhgb quiet" and adding "3" for runlevel 3. If the boot still fails, reply to the list with the last output you see before it hangs.
