There's a new install image available at
http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/errata/RHEA1999045-01.html, but I don't know
if that will solve your problem.

Would you care to tell us a bit more about the error messages?  What make and
model of motherboard and hard drive are you using?  What's the partition layout
like?

I suppose you _might_ be able to upgrade your system by cd'ing to the RPMS
directory on the CD-ROM, then doing an "rpm -F *.rpm".
