You know belive it or not, I just went round and round on this two nights
ago.  I had the disks from the offical disk set go bad on me with the same
result.  Just try making a new boot/supp disks with rawrite off the CD...

When I searched dejanews for answers on this someone posted "look in the 
redhat-install list they have fixed this problem before" and was unable
to find any 'real' answers in their archives.

Good Luck,
