I have a new dell t105(opty 1210's with 4 gigs of ram..sata hdd's and sata dvd-rom). I can bot to the Cent 5 64 bit dvd fine but once it asks where the install image is i tell it cd-rom..then it rejects the dvd spits it out and tells me it's not there. the same happens on 32 bit. I have downloaded centos5 twice now, md5 verified..and even burned at 1x(that took forever). Any ideas as to why it refuses to see a disk that's there, properly burned, and verified? -- Registered Microsoft Partner My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17
well it boots onto my athlon64 system. what's weird is no centos dvd will install..they all die at that point. The centos 32 bit CD's also work fine. I guess something in this machine does not like centos dvd's. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm starting the centos 64 bit cd set torrent now but if i can find a solution in the next 6 hours(burning and downloading time) i'd be highly appreciative.

My "GUESS" is the SATA DVD. Is there an IDE port available to try? doesn't say in the spec sheet. Also, maybe a post on the Dell Server Linux support list. http://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Theres a post on how to boot from USB, FWIW.... http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=pes_other& message.id=20285&query.id=33473#M20285 A quick Google search on Centos sata DVD showed a few others having issues, not just on Dell.
