Regarding SL 5.1 x86 DVD being the case as the most recent that I
retested it under vmware, the image passed the sha1sum check, burned it
and verified at the same time with nerolinux, but during installation
the "medium checking" showed "FAILED", and when I proceeded with
installation something very bad like kernel-panic (but not sure if it
was kernel-panic) occurred and it rebooted.
I have checked my system with memtest86+ 1.70 with no problems found
with the default tests.
Now I am redownloading the CentOS 5.1 x86 DVD install image, and I will
use the image itself first as a virtual DVD under vmware, and will try
to verify the medium during install and see if it proceeds OK with
installation.
If it succeeds, I will burn it to a DVD-RW and retry the same things.
SL 5.0 x86 DVD and CentOS 5.0 x86 DVD work OK.
