I am attempting to install CentOS 6 on a PC104 stack and am experiencing issues with anaconda not being able to find the Compact Flash (CF) card hosted in an IDE-CF board connected via the ISA bus. Did someone finally remove the ISA capability from the kernel?
On the same hardware I have been able to install CentOS 5.
With the CentOS 6 install DVD, the system boots up and proceeds until it tries to find devices with 'existing CentOS installs', then after a about a minute pops a message indicating it can't find any media to install on, and gives you a choice of trying again or exiting the install.
I would try on Alt-F2, to modprobe a driver if only I knew which one to use... the driver set for PATA has changed a lot between 5 & 6.
I also tried booting with the CentOS 6.5 Live CD, to try probing the system a bit farther, but the Live CD seems to fail while either loading the kernel&initrd to memory or when attempting to boot the kernel. when it makes changes operations, the screen res changes and goes black but I see no further CD drive activity and keyboard presses are ignored (even CapsLock & NumLock don't change their LEDs).
Anyone with clues or solutions on either issue?
