[CentOS] hard disk install failure

There are several consoles available during install and boot.
If you hit Alt+F1, you'll see the "regular" install/boot text.
If you hit Alt+F2, you'll see debug outputs of portions of the
install/boot process.

Alt+F3 gives you another console from which you can e.g. run various
tools (dmesg, ps, df, fsck, etc).
John Doe (not his real name) suggested looking at these other consoles
to see what had been printed out during install/boot.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
moments that take our breath away.
