Your ISO may be corrupted. Have you checked the md5checksums?

the md5checksums of all 3 cds are the same as posted on the downloaded web site so i think they are OK.

i have tried loading it from redhat site itself but there are problems with the site.
the iso files that i did managed to download were from one of USA mirror sites
