I'm using the recommended newbie conf. If this error is telling me there is a 
problem with hda3, I set it up as a Reiser fs using the remainder of a 40GB IDE 
HD.  It's a fairly new (1-2 months) HD.  Debian has been installing-running 
fine on it.

the error is telling you there is a problem with your cdrom, not your hard
drive

Which LiveCD was this? At which point does this happen?

Yeah, usually messages like that mean you have a hardware problem :/ Check out your cdrom.

[Comment 4 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-03-25 11:24:45 UTC]

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
