oh.. i also tried pci-nommconf and askmethod. FWIW, OEL5 x86 (RHEL5 recompiled by Dear Leader Larry's minions) also fails to install.
re: install from CD: I don't see how this will work. I have a PATA CD-RW/DVD-ROM and whether I use a CD or DVD, I will use the same optical drive with presumably the same problems. I do have OEL5 x86 on my notebook, mayhap I could use it to "Revisor" the DVD ISO, but again, I don't see how that can help.
