Problem loading CentOS after BIOS upgrade


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:
Quote:
CPU: Physical Processor ID: 0
CPU: Processor Core ID: 1
Intel machine check architecture supported.
Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#1.
CPU1: Intel P4/Xeon Extended MCE MSRs (24) available
CPU1: Thermal monitoring enabled
CPU1: Intel (R) Pentium (R) D CPU 3.00GHz stepping 05
Total of 2 processors activated (11990.42 BogoMIPS).
ENABLING 10 - APIG IRQs
.. TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
checking TSC synchronization across 2 CPUs: passed.
Brought up 2 CPUs

checking if image is initramts... it is
Freeing initrd memory: 5536k freed
NET: Registered protocol family 16
No dock devices found.
ACPI: Bus type pci registered
PCI: Using MMCONFIG
PCI: Busses that can't use MMCONFIG will use type 1 PCI conf access.
Setting up standard PCI resources
ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)
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?

Try noapic and/or nolapic as a kernel parm.
Strange if a BIOS update caused an issue.
