The LBA is causing your problem NOT the # of CDs you install from.
I did the Dev. install on 2 machines and on both used all 4 Cds with no
problems.
If your BIOS does not support LBA(Large Block Address) which is a fancy
way of saying Large Harddrives then the bootloader you choose to use and
were you install it are critical.
Grub has no problem with it but the LILO as shipped with 7.1 does.
