CentOS - Jan 2012 - 6.2 install fails on HP 6200pro (Intel Q65X chipset).

CentOS 5.6 x64 installs successfully on HP 6200pro SFF box with
Intel Q65X Express chipset (including HD graphics), Core i5 and
added NVS300 graphics card.  Actually, it works great.  HP lists
"RedHat Enterprise x64" as a supported OS.  The 6200pro is a
"business desktop" that became available in early summer 2011.

CentOS 6.2 x64 install halts during initial boot, with boot
messages stopping at "Detecting hardware".

I'm clueless on this one.  Suggestions appreciated.  Does anyone
have CentOS running on this hardware or this chipset?

Can you boot the Centos Live CD?  I've had some machines (my Acer laptop
springs to mind) that won't boot off of a Centos install disk but will boot
the
Live CD, so I just install off of that.
