I have all of the SATA channels set to AHCI mode, which includes the
Pioneer burner. I was thinking that maybe I should try changing the
BIOS setting to IDE, but then tossed it aside as crazy talk.
After your email, I decided to change the DVDRW drive's SATA channel to
IDE mode. Bingo! The CentOS 6 DVD booted. I have CentOS 6 running and
fully updated now.
I haven't looked into why the SATA Pioneer DVDRW needed AHCI disabled in
order to boot off the CentOS 6 DVD. Since the Fedora 15 DVD booted
without issue, I can only surmise isolinux in CentOS 6 and in Fedora 15
behave differently.
Thanks to everyone that tried to help out. I appreciate everyone's
efforts.
