Possible causes:

Bad scsi cabling to the CD
Bad CD drive
Bad media

Investigate and correct.

This has been posted to the Itanium group. Thats a 64 bit server capable of running Windows, HPUX or Linux.

I'm guessing you are running Linux, but the server you describe is not an HP Itanium. It sounds like a 32 bit Intel box, and n that case you may have the wrong OS.

Please clarify.

it is definately itanium. i finally got Debian 3.x IA64 to atleast begin installing. it setup the HD and began installing the base but then froze during the installation. i do suspect it has a hardware problem...
