Hi Mark,

yes, the machine is enabled to boot from the stick. It boots and shows me the CentOS-Boot-Menue.

Hello List,

i downloaded centos6 x86_64. With DVD-iso1 i made a booteable usb-stick (universal usb installer 1.8.5.7). When i boot my HP ProLiant DL380 G4 from the stick, the CentOS boot screen comes up and and the message "Automatic boot in xx seconds..." appears.

• When i do not hit any key, the seconds are counted to zero an then it

starts again at 10 seconds - again and again.

• When hitting return, a boot menu appears:

1. Boot
2. Boot (text mode)
3. Network Installation
4. Memory-Test
5. Boot from local drive

Only Options "Memory-Test" and "Boot from local drive" work. When choosing Option 1,2,3 i'm always pushed back to the menu.

How to install CentOS vom the stick? Please help me to find my mistake. Please tell me, if i can provide any information.

Bye, Florian

Hi Florian,

Did you enable the machine to boot from a USB device? With some machines you actually have to tell it that you want a USB device to be one of the boot devices.
