Centos install fails during hardware initialization
Posted: 2013/04/14 03:59:30
Hello,
I'm getting frustrated here.
I have the following config:
6x 2TB Sata3 @ 6Gbps
1x amd 8 core fx 8350
1x mainboard: Asrock 990FX Extreme4
4x 8GB DDR3 RAM @ 1600
1X Sapphire Flex HD 6450
When I try to install centos from any disk (full dvd, minimal, netinstall) it halts after
"Waiting forhardware to initialize ..."
In graphical mode I get a big black screen with a white _ halfway.
In basic video driver mode it halts while blinking _ under the line "waiting for hardware to initialize".
I have no other graphical card at the moment.
I tried "noprobe" which works, but then it asks me to select the driver for the disk drive, and it does not recognise the HDD's then
I also tried the following commands:
noprobe
nousb
nofirewire
nodmraid
nomodeset
I successfully installed ubuntu server 12.10. But I am getting more frustrated working in that then trying to install centos, so here I am.
I hope anybody can help me.
EDIT
-------
By the way:
BIOS settings:
SATA controller = enabled
SATA mode = AHCI mode
SATA IDE Combined mode = enabled
ACPI:
Suspend to RAM = Auto
Check Ready Bit = Enabled
ACPI HPET table = Enabled
