I recently purchased a set of ASRock Intel i5 MB/CPU combos for a budget compute cluster. Every time we load up a system and try to boot with a recent EL6/64 ISO, we get a message that reads: > This hardware (or a combination thereof) is not supported by CentOS. For more > information on supported hardware, plesae refer to http://www.centos.org/hardware Not only does the hardware *seem* to work to expectations, but the url referenced goes to 404! Having loaded CentOS6 on many systems without ever seeing this message, I have to ask how to determine what might be triggering it and whether or not I should be concerned? Thanks

CentOS removes references to Red Hat, in this case a reference to redhat.com. If you substitute 'redhat.com' for 'centos.org' you will get the original URL rather than a page not found error: http://www.redhat.com/hardware> Having loaded CentOS6 on many systems without ever seeing this message, > I have to ask how to determine what might be triggering it and whether > or not I should be concerned? > > Thanks

CentOS has no "supported hardware" anyway That is there because something about that hardware trips the RHEL support flag ... so you can't get support from Red Hat for that hardware :) As other posts to the list have pointed out ... look at: http://wiki.centos.org/hardware/ and http://www.redhat.com/hardware/ for more info -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
