List -<br><br>I have a 2009 era Centos 5.7 server (dual Athlon) that I've been trying to migrate to Centos 6.2. Here is the partial list of 'headbanger<br>knocks' that have kept me in a tizzy for weeks -<br><br>
- Centos 5.7 won't automount DVD media<br>- BIOS tweaks (boot to CD-ROM) have consistently failed<br>- ISO images (#$%&!). <br>- NetInstall vs full ISO CD/DVD<br>- k3b utility on my Centos 6.2 does not appear to make comparable/readable media for the Centos 5.7 box<br>
- Hints and tips spread across the Net are inconsistent and often misleading<br>- etc.....<br><br>So today I finally have seemed to 'break the ice'.<br><br>- BIOS tweaks (disable AHCI and revert to IDE mode for 3 HDDs)<br>
- System FINALLY reads an ISO image on CD<br><br>and then....FAILURE<br><br>- 'Can't find install.img' on CD ROM<br>- NetInstall points at a media cite (mirrors.centos.org...) and 'can't find install.img'<br>
- Attempt to use 'install from HD' option shows only logical drives (eg /dev/sda1, etc).<br><br>Words can't describe my frustration with this process. SNAFU/FUBAR are a good start.<br><br>Looking for Sympathy and Advice<br>
