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 <prefix>
Could not find platform independent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:exec_prefix]

you may safely reboot your system
Motherboard Intel D945GCL
CPU Intel Pentium-4 631
RAM Aeneon 512 Mb 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DIMM - DDR2

PATA Disk IBM 40 Gb PATA Disk (DeskStar) - System Disk
SATA Disk Hitachi 80 Gb SATA Disk (DeskStar) - Backup Disk
Disk Carrier Vantec MRK-200ST-BK
Case Antec TX1050B
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.

I don't really have a good guess at why your install fails. It sure does seem like a bad CD or bad CD-unit (but you did verify the media...). I just wanted to point out that 4.3 is not current, 4.4 is. Hope someone has a better answer for you, Peter -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

i would download and burn 4.4 and try again.
