Same CDs are fine on another desktop; laptop with problem is currently 
running RedHat 7.0 just fine (so I've either got a newly defective cd-
drive, or...?)

Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2001-02-23 17:13:38 UTC
This really sounds like a bad CD problem.

What type of interface is the CDROM on?

Comment 2 Wes Hamilton 2001-02-23 17:33:43 UTC
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

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2001-02-27 23:36:44 UTC
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).
