This was very helpful Akemi...I was loading centos in two other identical servers today and was having such a hard time loading it from DVD, DVD appears to be crashing, I even re-downloaded the image 3 times from three different mirrors and burn them with different applications (Nero, Roxio, and poweriso), worse case scenario it must be something with the Memorex DVD Media. Anyway, after two hours of trying I decided to do a network install and everything went flawless. Good to have many options, Centos rocks!

Please advise in the location of 5.4, i am willing to try it.

You know, I was having the same exact issue, except I was downloading the LiveCD. I downloaded a bunch of times from different mirrors and instead of burning to CD, I loaded the CD to a USB key. After the first downloaded image failed, and after downloading others, I did an MD5 checksum on all of them, and sure enough, none of them checked out. Errors did not exist in consistent places. I too fell back to netinstall with a kickstart script, so all went well in the end, but I find it's odd that both CD and DVD downloads from different mirrors did not transfer correctly (?) .
What could be going on?

Could be. I have had very bad experiences with Memorex tapes, floppies and CDs over the years. I won't use them any more. There is also a Euro brand with a similar track record for me that I wlil no longer use either, but I can't remember the name at the moment.
Anyway, good the net install worked.
