I am trying to install Centos 6.3 on a bare metal system comprised of a brand-new ASUS M5A97 LE R.2.0 motherboard with an AMD FX-8350 8-core processor. (FWIW Win 7 installs and runs just fine).<br />
<br />
When booting the Centos 6.3 x86_64 Live CD in GUI mode, the Gnome desktop loads, but the computer is locked-up when the Gnome desktop is displayed. A mouse pointer is present, but it will not respond to mouse inputs. Keyboard is also locked up. On the Gnome desktop, the sound and networking icons in the taskbar are x'd out in red. The system is totally unresponsive to any user input.<br />
<br />
The system can be booted in text mode to a command prompt.
