As others have suggested, verify both that the ISO is good and that the burn is good. To verify the ISO, run md5sum against the ISO file: md5sum centos_5.4-xx.x.x.iso The checksum should match the ones posted on the CentOS site or your mirror. Look at the md5sum.txt file and compare to your computed checksum. For example: 92cab2977a58ce422130e5c655dc8513 CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso If you have a bad ISO, the easiest way I've found to "repair" it is to use a torrent client. During the initial torrent download it will compute the error blocks and only copy those portions. Saves a bunch of time and guarantees a good download. In some places FTP will never complete successfully.. Once you have downloaded good iso, burn to disk at a slow speed. 2X usually works best for me. Once you burn you can also run md5sum against the physical DVD or use the built-in disk check in the initial part of the installation. BTW, instead of burning the full DVD iso, I generally only burn the boot.iso from the images directory. This is a much smaller burn and less prone to error. I mount the actual DVD iso as a loopback mount on another server and point my installation to that other server via the network.
