I want to install CentOS 4.4 on a Compaq Proliant DL 360.
The installation fails just after booting on the first CD.
Linux tries to autodetect hardware and fails with the CDROM.
Here is the error message:
##########################
hdc: CD-224E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

I can install a RHEL4 ES on the same server whitout problem.
I noticed that CentOS and RHEL use 2 different kernels to boot the 1st CD (in isolinux folder).
So I tried to replace the CentOS kernel with the one I found on RHEL CD.
And it works, the kernel boots, but my CentOS CD is not recognize anymore as a CentOS CD.
Why CentOS didn't recognize my CDROM?
What should I modify in order to install CentOS using the RHEL kernel?
Thanks
