[CentOS] CentOS-4.3 Install Fails

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.

Could not find platform independent libraries <exec_prefix>

Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:exec_prefix]

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.
