I'd suggest checking that you have the latest firmware for the cards installed as a first step. There may be lines in the log on the successful version that tell you which file it's using for firmware and where from.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke
