RedHat 9 Impossible Install

Comment:
On installing RedHat 9, I get all the way to "running /sbin/loader" and it freezes. I have tried forcing every resolution possible, I have tried the noacpi option, I've tried installing with text mode, and I've even tried testing the install media. Every time, it freezes at the same spot. I have:
ASUS A7M266-D Mother Board Two Athlon MP 1900+ 80gb 7200 rpm Seagate Baracuda 20 gb 5400 rpm Fujitsu (pos but it works) 768 MB PC2100 DDR RAM nVidia GeForce 3 Ti500 USB 2.0 card Pioneer DVD 106-S drive LiteOn CD-R/RW Dell FP1900 Monitor (19" flat panel) ...and the rest shouldn't really have an impact on the install.
If anyone can give me some help, I would really appreciate it.

Hey Nathan,
Check the surface of the install cd. I had to reinstall redhat 9 recently and it also froze due to funck on the disk.
There is a way to get redhad to check the integrity of the cd, kinda like a test, when you do an install, but I am not quite sure how to get to it any longer. Maybe someone else can chime in how how todo that.
Hope that helps,

It sounds like your CDs or the ISOs you donwloaded are bad. Did you ran MD5SUM against the ISOs? If the ISOs are not the problem then try burning the CDS again.
