Intriguing! By rescue disks, I guess you mean floppies, in which case
you may have a faulty floppy. I would not expect a CD/DVD to fail,
unless you have a hardware problem. If possible, you could try moving
the disk back to the previous box to verify it's OK. Sounds like a
HARDWARE problem as I've moved disks around many times without problems.
On the occasions when moving from an Intel to an Athlon, I had to boot
from timos rescuecd, mount the / partition as /mnt, then "chroot /mnt",
build an Athlon kernel, mkinitrd, grub-install /dev/hda and rebooted.
