^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Looks like there is nothing wrong with your CD. Sounds like Red Hat
thinks /mnt/cdrom or whatever is supposed to carry an ext2 filesystem
rather than iso9660. I vaguely remember similar problems with me
having to modify /etc/fstab after every Red Hat 6.2 installation so
that it knows the cd is iso9660, but I could be misremembering.
What you could do: find where Red Hat stores the "ext2" bit (fstab? a
script?) and change it to "auto" or to "iso9660".
Or, maybe you could mount the cd manually from the console and then
have Red Hat continue installation. Debian supports such manual
intervention, but I don't remember if Red Hat does.
