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.

Comment 8 Michael Fulbright 2002-10-02 15:59:58 EDT

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.
