Instalation Centos 7.0 in HP Proliant DL380 without sucess

[Mikawins]

Hi,

I´m new with CentOS and I want to install it in a Server. I have downloaded the ISO image and save it as an installation DVD, but every time I try to install it, after I select on the first menu "Install CentOS 7" or "Test this media & install CentOS 7"  I have a black screen and DVD stops reading.

I tried install on two different servers:

1st HP Proliant DL380

       Intel Xeon CPU 2,8 GHz Dual processor

       System Type 32 Bits Operating System

       2 x 36GB HD Ultra 320 SCSI 15 k

       Memory 4 Gb

2nd HP Proliant DL380

        Intel Xeon CPU 2,8 GHz Dual processor

        System Type 32 Bits Operating System

        2 x 36GB HD Ultra 320 SCSI 15 k

        Memory 6 Gb

I´d really appreciate your help.

Best regards,

Fernando

Those appear to be really old DL380 units. CentOS 7 will only work on 64bit capable systems

Hi.

I've experianced a similar problem when installing a diffrent kind of distribution of linux. I would try installing in textmode instead of graphical mode. I had the same symptom, the screen goes black and nothing happens, but when I chose textmode instead i could install the server, has something to do with the graphicaldrivers.

I couldn't find any links for centos 7 but here's one for centos 6.5 it should be similar

Hi Jimmy,

Hi Cederberg,

thanks for your reply. I tested it and I have this message:

"This Kernel required an X86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686  CPU.

This processor is unsupported in RHEL7."

Do you know what CentOS can I install?

Best regards,

Fernando

You should be able to use the i386 version of CentOS 6.6

Thanks Jimmy, for your quick answer.  I will try i386 version of CentOS 6.6.

I discover this link https://mediaarea.net/nn/MediaInfo/Download/CentOS that refers CPU i686 for CentOS 6.6. Let's see...

From the CentOS wiki
