I got a new box today. 915GAVL motherboard. Celeron 2.4G 1 GIG mem 80GIG SATA drive. When I boot centos I have had various stages of success. Once I got as far as partitioning the disk manually and X blew and the machine rebooted. Couple times I have had kernel crashes at different stages of install. I have not has trouble installing before and was wondering if there are suggestions. I did try installing without X "linux text pci=noapci" and that stopped also. All anaconda says is "install exited abnormally". I went ot the hardware monitor portion and seems stable CPU temp at around 48-50C. Any ideas?
