Ray, right on target!

After looking for disk errors in dmesg output, /var/log/messages to no avail, I finally uninstalled the whole 9.2 OH last night,
re-downloaded/re-burned/re-... and this time installation of both 9.2.0.1 and a patch went with no glitches.

Apparently Disk2 was corrupted/missing files/??? on downloading/burning/unpacking, but what surprised me the most is that I didn't get any errors at gunzip/cpio stage, which I always thought of as a good indication that software on CDs is valid. This assumption cost me week and a half of hopeless tries to make it work...

On the bright side, some .o, .so etc. files I see in OUI during installation look painfully familiar...

Thanks a lot for you help.
