If you think that cd's has error or something before you burn ISO images you should check md5sum's
from RedHat if they are fit then you'll have no media problems till you scratch the cd :)
This problem appears just after you finished the installation and boot the system for 1st time?
Do you have another operating system on the same disk? What kind of hardwares you have?

You should check /var/log files because log files will say everything to you.
