I cannot tell whether this is a duplicate of the mount-point problem because I was seeing a slightly different error. I upgraded an IDE system at work without problems using an ISO image we burned on our departmental CD writer. When I attempted to upgrade a SCSI system the installer locked the system tight; I don't have a full traceback because I couldn't dump it to disk or floppy. However, it occurred during package installation and resulted in an error like: OS Error: /mnt/cdrom/Redhat/RPMS/kernel-headers.blah.i386.rpm When I tried to reboot I got the dreaded LI then a freeze. I had to reinstall 6.2 (which succeeded without problems) from scratch. The IDE system is single-boot, the SCSI system is dual-boot with Win95 so it may be the mount problem in a slightly different manifestation. Also, I've had weird errors emanating from my SCSI controller (a BusLogic) that I haven't yet diagnosed so that may also be a factor; yet I *was* able to install 6.2. I was planning to purchase a "regulation" CD but am rather afraid to do so right now. If this error is due to a flaky image with possibly a flaky controller then I may go ahead and buy a CD, but I don't want to toast my machine again. I can mount and examine the CD under 6.2 with no problems.
We have performed testing with Buslogic SCSI cards w/o problems. It sounds like you have a hardware issue to be honest. Can you try installing using an IDE cdrom drive to see if it has similar problems?
