So after trying to install centos 6.2 with flare and the autodesk KS file, I kept running into kernel panics during the install, tried a bunch of boot options like all-generic-ide, noacpi acpi=off, switching the hard drive mode from ide to ahci etc. Finally ran across someone on the internet with a similar problem here?
Apparently in the way the installer handles the nvidia drivers, all you need to do is use?
nouveau.modeset=0
then the installer will kickstart normally, then just do the autodesk DKU afterwards to get the drivers.
The centos 6.3 installer works fine, but for some reason I decided to use the "officially supported" version.
For those curious, I'm running it on a dual 2690, supermicro, with a quadro 4000, and a few 2.5inch ssds striped together for the "framestore"
One of these?actually??http://aceca.com/html/workstations.html
Works great for that flame support role, when you don't want to rent a second flame.
