    I am having the same issues with cd 2 on my dell inspiron 5100,
    and posted basicly the same complaint on linux.redhat.install .
    The xpdf package fails on install, and the 2nd disk tested bad.
    I to have downloaded several iso's from different mirrors, and have
    gotten the same result.

    Unfortuanatly I cannot change my cdrw, as its part of my laptop!
    HELP!
