Which version of CentOS? 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2? Which kernel?
USB3 support isn't as robust as it should be, prior to 6.2, but I've not
tried booting with USB3.0.
I do know the live DVD will recognize a drive on a USB3.0 port, but I
haven't tried booting a live CentOS stick there yet.... Hmmm, perhaps I
should, since I do have one (but it's not 'installed' to the stick,
it's a LiveUSB image, not an installation).
