Hye

possibly a defect CD in drive?

No CD in the CD rom .
The CDrom is working and no fault

Hi,
possibly Redhat tries to read from CDROM during boot and there error is created because there is no media found.

I have another machine with red hat linux .The same version of red hat linux and there is CD rom.
But there is no this I/O buffer error ...
Why ???
Any advice to fix these error ???

Aaah you're running within VMWAre - could this be a bug in it?

I do not think it is bug in vmware as other version of red hat linux running and boot up fine in this VMware workstation...No this I/O buffer error ....
Any other advice ????
