I suppose it would :)

trying to install from cd-rom that has worked fine onto machines that
have worked fine.
I have two sun fire x2100s with 4gb of ram.  This works fine with
solaris not centos.
I need to install centos on those hosts and I get a kernel panic that
states:
kernal panic - notsyncing: pci-DMA : high address but ni IOMMU.

Thanks,

Bill
