I have replicated this problem on 5 to 6 Compaq Deskpro 2000 (standard hardware configurations found at compaq.com). I've tried fresh installs, and upgrading from older versions. I have been able to install 7.1 on all of the systems.

Additional info: I'll attatch the log file to this form.

You are getting read errors from hda, not sure which device this is but it indicates a hardware problem. Is this a CD or hard drive?
hda is the hard drive on all the systems. Does Redhat 7.2 & 7.3 detect new hardware failures during install that 7.1 doesn't?
Could you try booting the installer and adding 'ide=nodma' to the command line?
or "linux nomce" ?
linux ide=nodma worked thanks
Good to hear its working.
