Nope. I've tried 5 different (new) disks, even from different vendors and 
packs. I've tried all four rescue disk images. These disks work fine on 
other machines, with no boot or install problems. The machine is just old 
enough to not support bootable CD's, so short of some other ideas, I think 
I'm stuck with Red Hat on it.
