Is there any known incompatibility with the latest 32-bit (i386) CentOS 6 and the latest Lenovo x3650 M5 servers?  I’ve been running i386 CentOS 6.X on 3 year old x3650 M4 servers without any issues.  Our development environment has not been ported to 64-bit (x86_64) yet, so we are stuck using i386 for another few months.  When I try to boot from the netinstall ISO image I just get a “Boot Failed” message. Has anyone had similar issues, and more importantly, figured out a way to workaround it?
