That is generally indicative that the CD isn't burned properly.  You
should run an md5 checksum against the CDs involved and verify that the
checksum matches that in the MD5SUM file in the repository you got the
images from.  If you don't have that handy, here they are:

400c7fb292c73b793fb722532abd09ad  shrike-i386-disc1.iso
6b8ba42f56b397d536826c78c9679c0a  shrike-i386-disc2.iso

RH Linux 9 is no longer supported by Red Hat and hasn't been for almost
18 months.  Support has been turned over to the fedora-legacy group.
What was supposed to be Red Hat Linux 10 became known as "Fedora Core
1".  The current free version of Red Hat is "Fedora Core 4", using a 2.6
kernel.  You really should think about changing to a Fedora version.
