Before few years on laptop i was installed Centos 5.3 from DVD, installation from start to end -ok. This time, I have been trying already run install DVD CentOS 5.10 final, on same laptop same way. It going badly, the installer stops at text the line /sbin/loader dough before displaying graphic query to test dvd. Repeating bud the same failure. Test on another pc it's ok. Also, test the installation on higher Centos 6.5 ok. (of course, higher versions can not be used now)
Why installation Centos 5.10 final on laptop stops at line /sbin/loader?
Installator CentOS 5.10 stop /sbin/loader
Installator CentOS 5.10 stop /sbin/loader

Re: Instalator CentOS 5.10 stop /sbin/loader
You could try using the installation disk(s) rather than the Live DVD to do an installation.
Re: Installator CentOS 5.10 stop /sbin/loader
Thank you. Sure, I'm using right installation disk. Here: /isos/i386/CentOS-5.10-i386-bin-DVD-1of2.iso and here:stevemowbray wrote:You could try using the installation disk(s) rather than the Live DVD to do an installation.
/isos/i386/CentOS-5.10-i386-bin-DVD-2of2.iso
I tasted it. Disk is right. Here is not problem.

Find out. The installer completes successfully if acpi=off.czejar wrote: Why installation Centos 5.10 final on laptop stops at line /sbin/loader?
BTW this is Laptop Evo N800v, bios 68P4M Ver. F.24 (06/17/2005)
But that is a new problem. Now ACPI service is not available, as battery, button, thermal, cpu, etc.
If remove acpi=off and rhgb quiet from Grub's command line then, proces booting hangs "Setting up hotplug".
It is a paradox that, new installation of Centos "6.5" and older Centos "5.3" ACPI accepts naturally and works so well.
But Centos 5.10 not.
I have no idea, please advise what to try correct.
How to make ACPI work with Centos 5.10?
It is possible to copy something from an earlier Centos version, where ACPI works?

Adds to knowledge about the cause of the issue.
I can not explain it, but the fact is that the kernel began to err, in relation to my laptop "Compaq N800v" somewhere between 5.4 and 5.5 CentOS
(in other words: kernel 2.6.18-164.el5 Ok, but kernel 2.62.6.18-194.32.1.el5 not anymore )
it's bad luck, I am trying to solve more here:
