Well…I found few messages about it, and it looks like people aren't
sure about the cause…software bug ? BIOS bug ? Isolinux guys report it
to BIOS, and of course we don't hear about BIOS guys.
So pick your choice ;)
Anyway, I haven't found any other solution…and once I found the 6.0
trick I stopped research here.

Laurent,

I took a look at the centos bugs and found this.

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5377

I am not sure if my problem is related to this particular problem, but
there was a similar note attached to this bug, I also added a note.

It does not look to me like anyone is addressing the problem.  I am glad
the 6.0 archive is available.  I will try your suggestion next.

Thanks for your help!!!!

Greg

I wanted to post a follow up note on this thread to help others that
have this same problem. 

The CentOs 6.0 dvd has worked perfectly which means we can install
CentOS on this machine.  The 6.2 and 6.4 dvd's were not usable and would
not boot. 

It does not appear that this problem is getting much attention, so we
may have some difficulty with 6.+ or 7.
