  • so, you downloaded the centos image, good start ... when you say "the sd card is ready" ... what exactly does that mean? did you "burn" the image onto the sd card, or did you simply copy the downloaded image to the card?

From the image in your question, it is clear that you have an original Pi B

The ARM chip in the Pi B (and A, and B+) is an armv6

There is no Centos image available for the original raspberry pi (armv6), only raspberry pi 2, 3 and 3+ (armv7)

There is a "definitive" list of available operating systems for the raspberry pi at this link ... note that under Centos (and others) it clearly states "Pi 2/3 Only"

The only solution is to buy a Raspberry Pi 2B, 3B, 3B+ or 3A+ - all of which have the prerequisite armv7 CPU (and are cheaper to buy than the original in my experience)
