That says it all.  I tried to install my rpms from one HD (hda1) to
another (hdb1).  The installer said that an error occured reading hda1. 
When I tried to get it to reread hda1 it said error couldn't mount
drive.

Did I get a bad boot image?

How is hda1 entered in /etc/fstab?  (or what params did you provide with
the mount command?)

You could also try fsck.ext2 /dev/hda1 and see what comes up.

I'm not a BIG O's fan (and in fact cheered for the Yank's when I was in
my formative years in "Joisey"), but couldn't they be charged with (a)
having 10 men on the field and (b) hiring a minor after last night's
game.

Best example of "home field advantage" I've seen in a  while.
