Good question.  Here is what I have done so far:

I ran the beta installer on a 1.83 GHz Core Duo model. The system booted and the installer ran. I did an install with "linux askmethod" from an NFS share with the CentOS 5 isos. I did a default workstation install. The installer ran flawlessly. The graphics displayed correctly and the trackpad worked perfectly. The installer ran. When I rebooted after the install, the system said "Missing operating system" and stopped. I was able to boot disc 1 in rescue mode and mount the new installation in mnt.

I suspect there is some problem with the boot partition. I am trying to install 4.4 now, just for fun. During the install, the installer complained that the drive had a "gbt" partition and would have to be reformatted for CentOS to be installed. I take this as a good sign. If the 4.4 install works, I'll try the 5.0 beta again.

I will report back.

FYI, I just installed CentOS 5 beta with the SMP kernel in a VMWare

Can you boot CentOS on a MacBook as the native O/S? (EG: NOT in VMWare or
Parallels)



Also, sorry for the top-post!
