I am out of town until late Monday 9/2 and will test then.  (fyi) The CD's are 
originals purchased in the Red Hat box.

I had the same problem -random crashes with "resource busy" message while
installing RH 7.3 (CD images dowloaded from one of the mirrors). I managed to
install it - required slowing down the processor and memory (Athlon XP 1800
slowed down to 1.1GHz; memory slowed dwon to 3/4 of CPU). Once I completed the
install, I reset the frequences back to what they should have been, everything
seems to be ok so far.

The CD is either bad, or the drive does not like the CD media:

<4>hdc: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
<4>hdc: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x30


There indicate read errors from the CD.
