After partitioning the disks when I installed CentOS 5.6, it gave me the following error message:
“Your boot partition is on a disk using the GPT partitioning scheme but this machine cannot boot using GPT”.
I searched the solution on the net, and someone said the protected MBR GPT partition entire needs to be deleted.
So I entered the rescue mode and deleted the MBR on the disks as below.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
I reinstalled the system again, it worked.

why not use the latest version 6.3 Centos. it installs ok decide in advance what partitions you want. you only need lots of partitions if you want to keep separate images why not just have /, /home, and a swap

Aw, this was an exceptionally good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to make a really
good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a lot and don’t seem to get nearly anything done.
