my linux box again

[basher584]

I got a couple of bad CD's from Alan -RH 6.9 Beta.. (at least I think they are
bad.. ) I had pretty much the same problem.  If you look at the CD it doesn't
seemed to be burned all the way..  Plus if you switch to a different console
(Alt - [F1-F5] ) I was getting a kernel message about looking for sector 530349
with limit of 439000 or something weird like that...
