I've had this problem a few times in the past. Usually it was from a new
download and fresh burn on a cd. For me it has always been because I
didn't burn it as a binary or iso but instead just copied it and the
formatting was different. I would try a different cd if you have one.

Subject: Re: [TCLUG] problem installing RH 7


I've had problems like this from a laptop.  The bios handles the cdrom
until
the OS takes over.  The OS is in ram so it may not have the correct
drivers for
the hardware it just booted from.  Pain in the A**.
If it's SCSI you may need to load a module or do some lilo magic.  Never
had to
mess with lilo boot time parameters though.

Maybe a little more info on the type of cdrom (and scsi card if scsi)
would
help. ?
