I found this in RedHat 8.0 Release Notes:
o The installer has a built-in ability to test the integrity of the
install media. It works with the CD, DVD, hard drive ISO, and NFS ISO
installation methods. It is recommended to test all install media
before installation and before reporting any installation issues. To
use this test, type linux mediacheck at the boot: prompt.
o If you have a problem with installation, test your install media
before reporting a bug. A significant number of the issues reported
are from badly burned CD. Also, when entering an installation bug,
select the anaconda component.
And later:
o isolinux is now used for booting the CD. If you have problems booting
from the CD, you can write the images/boot.img image to a diskette
according to the directions in the Official Red Hat Linux Installation
Guide.
If you want to make your own CD to boot the installation program, copy
the isolinux directory from the first CD into a temporary directory
(cp -r /path/to/tree/isolinux/ /path/to/cdimage) and then run the
following command:
mkisofs -o /path/to/file.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R
-J -V -T /path/to/cdimage
Its better to read this document fully; its available on the root
directory of CD1.
