Thanks for your reply, Roger. I forgot to mention that I had thought it might be a bad CD drive and changed it, but got the same message. I'll try pulling a drive from one of the boxes I know can read this and try again. In an old post (in the archives), this problem was resolved by someone by upgrading the bios. As I mentioned, I already checked and have the latest one available for this old board. The error did say "Failed to locate CD-ROM device". I might just try reinstalling the my old RedHat version to see if if can locate the drive for that.
