I had the same problem with my upgrade on several machines. I even went back and re-burned the CDs at a lower speed thinking I might have a media or drive compatibility issue. The only machine I could install "from CD" on, was the one I used to burn the CDs. To work around the problem, I ended up making a boot floppy, and when asked for the location of media, answered hda and the partition that held the iso images. Odd, because I could read the CDs from all the machines I upgraded. Rather than networking the iso images, I made new images on each machine from the same CDs that the installer could not read.

Hi, I was planning to upgrade RH 7.3 to RH 8.0 and so I
downloaded the iso images and burnt on the CD. In the
beginning I checked the media and it passed and there
was no problem. Everything was going well till the
start of package installation. Here the it halts and
it won't respond to anything besides a hard reset or
power down. Any help or suggestion would be
appreciated.
Thanks.
Sachchi.
