well it boots onto my athlon64 system. what's weird is no centos dvd will install..they all die at that point. The centos 32 bit CD's also work fine. I guess something in this machine does not like centos dvd's. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm starting the centos 64 bit cd set torrent now but if i can find a solution in the next 6 hours(burning and downloading time) i'd be highly appreciative.
