Thank you very much for your replies. Did you install libreboot or did it come with the machine? Libreboot came installed with the machine and thus far I also know nothing about it. I thought someone might know something about it, or maybe had instaled centos on a machine with it Have you found a way to get into libreboot to look at the settings?

I can get in to the menu and edit grub and I did try putting intremap=off on the boot line which did not work, though with that option I did not see the DMAR: Failed to map dmar2 error message, I simply get a message saying 'Invalid ROM contents' Just to check that I am editing the command line correctly: In the grub config I am changing the line: linux$linuxsuffix '/isolinux'/'vmlinuz' initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=CENTOS x207 x20X8 quiet to linux$linuxsuffix '/isolinux'/'vmlinuz' initrd=initrd.img intremap=off inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=CENTOS x207 x20X8 quiet Is that correct? Just to note some of the links I have seen regarding this message suggest that centos still installs when they see it - this is not the casae with me in this instance - it eventually times out and drops in to an emergency shell.
Still looking at the links regarding centos and libreboot - have not been able to get much extra out of them so far.

Yes, that's correct:- If you keep having time outs that drop into an emergency shell you might want to install Centos exactly the way it says to in the link in post #3. Does your pc met the computer requirements for Centos? Enough RAM and CPU?
OK it looks like I grabbed the wrong usb stick the other day. Thank you for your replies To answer a few questions: Did you check the integrity of the.iso of CentOS before making the usb stick bootable? I have used this iso to fully install centos 7 on other systems - it works.
what does the lines above the last line say? There might be the clue to why the installer is dropping to emergency mode.
Failed to switchroot: specified switch root path /sysroot does not seem to be an OS tree. Os-release file is missing. Failed to switch root #systemctl status initrd-switch-root.service. Active: failed (Result: exit-code). Process 3997 ExexStart=/usr/bin/systemctl -no-block -force switch-root /sysroot (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Does your pc met the computer requirements for Centos? It's listing 2 cpus: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU P9600 @ 2.53G not sure if that is sufficient There is just under 4G of RAM. Can't immediately a site which succinctly lists the system requirement, so will check this later.
Not sure if the install is getting far enough to be affected by these. If you keep having time outs that drop into an emergency shell you might want to install Centos exactly the way it says to in the link in post #3. Not sure exactly which link you are referring to. I have been doing the installation as described in this link though I have not tried to go through this section yet: Booting ISOLINUX Images (Manual Method) So will give that a go (Although I think this is just if the install is unable to start at all).
