Leonard,
I really appreciate your help on this - I've been working in the Windows
world since there's been a Windows and I'm really out of my element in
Linux.
There's only one CD on the system (any of the systems) and just as a side
note there's an identical server running SuSE Linux that mounts up the CD
beautifully. The hard drives are all SCSI and the CD is IDE. I recently
inherited these systems and all indications are that the CDs worked at some
point.
===============================================================
There's an /etc/lilo.conf.anaconda and a grub.conf; here's the grub.conf:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda6
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
