RH 7.2 install dies after selecting to install from CD-ROM

[Michael Waluk]

Hi, I am a new Linux user and am trying to install from CD-ROM to a new computer (new hard-drive with nothing on it).  I have 1GHz P III, 512MB fast RAM, 20GB fast IDE hard drive and 52x IDE CD-ROM.   The CD-ROM boots into the installer but I don't get past the question regarding where to install from.  I select "CD-ROM", hit enter, see a blue screen, anaconda starts and then I get a system 11, the CD ejects and a messages says I may safely reboot.  I have tried every mode and plenty of options, as well as other 7.2 CDs (including the set in the 7.2 Bible book).  I have also tried using the oldcdrom.img on a diskette (used rawrite to copy from CD) for a device driver, but that didn't help.   The log usually contains the following lines so I am hoping someone will recognize what is wrong.  Any ideas?   <4>Unable to identify CD-ROM format <4>VFS: can't find ext2 filesystem and dev loop (7,0).   and sometimes followed by:   <4>Error-3 while decompressing!   Thanks for any help you can give me.    -Michael
