Why is it that my netinstalls are failing? It's saying that the downloaded image does not match the booted media. i'm using mirror:
http://mirror.trouble-free.net/centos/3.4
I've tried installing 4.0 and 3.4 with the same result. Weird huh. This happened to me last week also.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

your bootdisk must be taken from the iso from the version which you are trying to install. So if you are installing 3.4 make sure that you boot with the boot disk from the 3.4 repository.

There is only one tree present ... if you want to install via a net install (against the latest tree) then you must download the NEW boot.iso after 3.5 was made the default version.
Get the new boot iso from:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3/os/i386/images/
(or from your mirror at the same spot ... substitute your arch for i386)
I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem. I have it as well, and I have been using both CD1 and the boot.iso from the 3.5 tree. CD1 still insists that the installation tree is wrong, and the boot.iso starts to work, but fails upon processing the kickstart files that have worked fine in 3.4 (and yes, they reference the -3 tree, and not the 3.4/3.5 specific trees).
I thought maybe it was my localized mirror, and pulled down new copies of the ISOs from other mirrors, but the result is the same, and whether I use my local mirror as the install tree, or point it at one of the public mirrors.

Okay, so time to admit my own failures, my kickstart ended up with an extra dash in one of the partition options, and that was throwing off the boot.iso when it ran anaconda. I thought I only adjusted the size, but I apparently inserted an errant hyphen. The boot.iso works over network fine.
That said, I still do have the problem with CD1 -- the system still insists that 3.5 CD1 and the installation tree from my local mirror as well as the mirrors at UW-Madison and GA Tech do not match. The ISO for CD1 has been downloaded from all of these sites and burned to blank CD-RWs (and with the boot.iso CD-RW also came from, that now works). I've been able to use CD1 for networked installs before, is this now a problem? Did RH change how their CD1 behaves?
