I'm using the same CD's that I've used to install CentOS on my other systems.
After the first failure I had the installation verify the install media just in case. It passed.
I've tried the default install (used for all previous installs) and the i586 option (after googling). They both fail in the same way.
Here is a transcript of what is output to the screen:
Running anaconda, the CentOS-4 i386 system installer - please wait.

The system disk (IBM 40Gb DeskStar) was used in a previous system ad has CentOS-4.3 loaded on it.
It won't boot in graphical mode due to an X-Windows failure. So I decided to re-install.
Any insight would be appreciated.
