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. > > you do know, x86_64 runs i386 apps as long as you install the suitable i386 libraries, right? Yes, but we have to change all of our Makefiles to use -m32 and there are some other issues as well. We are moving towards 64-bit but are not quite there yet, and I thought I would initially install 32-bit CentOS 6 on our x3650 M5 system as I did on the x3650 M4 systems. > >> When I try to boot from the netinstall ISO image I just get a “Boot Failed” message.

I have a completely automated installation via kickstart, so I usually just use the net install ISO image, but I will try the minimal or perhaps even the LiveCD ISO when I am back in the office on Monday.
