[CentOS] System Hangs At Anaconda Detecting Hardware

Hey All,

I just assembled a new machine.

Mother Board: 	Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3
Processor: 	AMD FX8350
Memory:		Corsair CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10 2x8 GB
Video:		BFG Tech Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT

I tried the 6.6 x86_64 netinstall disk.
I tried the 6.6 x86_64 install DVD

Both fail at the same place:

Anaconda installer init version 13.21.229 starting
mounting /proc filesystem... done
creating /dev filesystem... done
starting udev...udev[175]: error setting /sys/class/firmware/timeout: No
such file or directory
done

mounting /dev/pts (unix98 pty) filesystem... done
mouning /sys filesystem... done
trying to remount root fiesystem read write... done
mounting /tmp as tmpfs... done
running install...
running /sbin/loader
detecting hardware...

That's all she wrote!

The BIOS detects the 500 GB hard drive, the CD/DVD drive, 16 GB of RAM,
all eight cores on the CPU, and boots from the CD/DVD.  Then it just
hangs at detecting hardware.

Says:
"The netinstall isos do not work with UEFI installs, but the minimal or
DVD isos do work with UEFI. No versions of CentOS-6.6 will work with
Secure Boot turned on. Secure Boot must be disabled to install CentOS-6.6."

I see nothing in the MB documentation about "Secure Boot" enabled or
disabled.  Also not a word about UEFI.

Any suggestions anyone?
