This really sounds like a bad CD problem. What type of interface is the CDROM on?
CDROM drive is modular (in modular bay, not connected via parallel port), mounted as HDC (so I assume EIDE) Is it possible to verify the operation of the drive, or at least verify that it is reading the wolverine contents correctly? (perhaps an e2fsck for iso9660?) - thanks
You would need to md5sum the CD and compare it to the values given on the FTP site in a text document (same place you got the ISO).
