With CentOS 6 and KVM, i'm kinda lost! I Googled a lot and The "choose a kernel" is the grub menu, and unless you've disabled it, you can still do it. Try hitting any key as soon as you see the "about to boot ... in x sec" I'd boot to single usermode (s at the end of the kernel line), and check the logs. And I really, *REALLY* don't like Supermicro. We've got a large bunch of servers from Penguin, who's all Supermicro, and we've sent a ton back for repair, as well as doing things here, *and* several of those sent back were sent back more than once. Luck. mark
