Ok, more to the story... to clarify... I DID DO a media check on CD 1 and it passed. Upon futher examination, an alternate console (either ALT-F3 or ALT-F4, I don't remember which) showed <3> decompression error (or something like that) over and over... so for some reason my brand new Philips CDRW2400 services burner couldn't read the disk. I tried two other disks (both PASSed the media check) and they did the same thing. To get the blasted machine installed... I decided to do a network install... by taking the first CD1 (as well as CD2 and CD3) and created an install server on another machine in the house. Then I used the same CD1 to boot from and used the "linux askmethod" boot prompt option and did an NFS install. Since it didn't read much of the CD, I was able to install. I guess I really am not looking for resolution to this problem because it appears beyond the control of the anaconda installer... BUT it is good to note that just because a CD passes the media check (yes, even on the target install machine), that doesn't mean that the install machine will be able to successfully read the CD for an install. |
