Don't skip the media check and see what it reports.
Have you ever used this CD before?
It would appear the installation CD has a bad cpio file on it or the CD
itself is damaged or needs to be cleaned.

Subject: Problem in rhel3 installtion
Hi list,
Am new here in the list and I hope to be as corporative as you wish,
Am trying to install RHEL 3 on HP ML 350 , P3 and 512 ram. Every time I
reboot the system and boot from the installation cd, I hit the enter to
start then skip the media check , after that about a half of the
screen turned into blue and " error 2 reading header: cpio: bad magic"
comes up.
I tried to:
- changing the media and checking the checksum,
- kernel parameters: linux hdc=nodma
linux apci=off nolapic
linux noapic nolapic
and nothing worked.
Is it a H/W problem like RAM or some H/W combination problem thats make
this error??
Regards
Mohammad
