I originally installed CentOS v 5.2 on an Intel board (model dg965ry) with a Pentium D. The problem was that udev would not start on boot-up.
I upgraded the BIOS with the latest from the Intel support site, and according to the messages, the BIOS upgrade was successful.
CentOS no longer wanted to load at all, so I decided to reinstall it.
I popped the DVD in, and the initial CentOS screen came up asking if I wanted a GUI install process or a text based install process. I chose GUI...
This is what comes next:

And there it sits. And sits. And sits...
I did find that Ubuntu Server loads without any issues, but I don't want Ubuntu...
Any ideas what's going on?
