We will need more information about what you were trying to do: 1) Install or upgrade 2) NFS/CDROM/FTP/HTTP method? 3) System parameters (ide/scsi, memory, etc)
1) It was during an upgrade 2) CDROM method (bug 10452 - stated that the problem might be the cd drive or a dirty CD) Need help in determining if the drive is going bad or the CD is dirty. 3) Dual P3 450Mhz, 256 MB Ram, 2 IDE HDs (10 GB seagate, 27.2 maxtor), 1 IDE CDROM (toshiba 32x), 1 IDE CDRW (smart & friendly), Diamond Viper V770 (32MB) video, Soundblaster 512, 3Com 905TX network card.
This kind of problem is almost always a hardware/media issue. We have done alot of 6.1->6.2 upgrade testing and I haven't heard of this particular problem coming up. If you burned an ISO image it would be worth trying again with a new CD blank.
I have this problem too. I install a new version of Redhat 6.2 ( not an upgrade ). I downloaded redhat 6.2 two times on two server and each times i had this problem. I have a P 166, 32 meg ram, 2 IDE HDs, 2 IDE CD-ROMS, CREATIVE BANSHEE(16meg) Sorry my english is poor
