Good morning, I hate to bother everyone again, but I'm having some more trouble. I have a new machine with an MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard (ATI Xpress200 chipset) and a Hammer DVD Writer (shows up as a Matshita DVD-RAM SW-9585). I get the CD to start (in text mode - don't know why I can't do VGA or better), and it asks me What type of media contains the packages to be installed. I choose CDROM and then it says: The CentOS-4 x86_64 CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the CentOS x86_64 CD and press OK to retry. The funny thing is that this is Disk 1 of x86_64. Any ideas? I've tried a couple of different download sites and I always get the same problem. TIA! Jeff

( should be the very first step, pre install ) - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
I'm not familiar with the mother board that you're using, but one thing I noticed, you're trying to load the version that's for 64 bit processors. Are you sure your processor is 64 bit,instead of 32bit? If you're running a 32 bit processor, alot of times the version for them is named "something,something, I586, something,something". Something else to consider too, there's always the chance that the dvd drive might be going bad. If the 64bit version is the correct version for you, you might want to try inserting a different cd or dvd drive, and see if you have any better luck that way. Hope that helps Jim On Tue, 2006-05-30 at 07:27 -0400, Jeffrey B. Layton wrote:> Good morning, > > I hate to bother everyone again, but I'm having some more > trouble.

Something I forgot to mention last night, your video problem
maybe the ATI chipset. I don't know why, but on all the linux user's
emailing lists that I'm on,problems with ATI video controllers come up
quite frequently . The video controllers that people seem to be having
the best luck with are Nvidia, and SIS. I'm sure that other members of
this list know of other video controllers that work also.
To the best of my knowledge, the linux distro that seems to
support the ATI controllers the best is Mandriva, formerly known as
Mandrake
Hope this helps
Jim
