I'm having trouble booting from the CD

[Tyler]

Hello everyone.  I have a problem I was hoping someone could help me
with.  When I try to boot my Fedora CD I get this message

ISOLINUX 2.06  2003-08-22   isolinux:  disk error 01, AX = 4293, 9F

I have no idea what it means or what to do.  Any help that someone could
give me would be appreciated.

Looks like you have a bad disc...simple enough message.

Did you burn the CD yourself? Can you look at it on your Windows system 
and see if it has just one big file on it named xxxxx.iso?  If so, then 
that's why it won't boot.  You need to tell your CD burner to "Make a CD 
from an ISO image" not just copy the .iso file to the CD.

I get the same thing with a FC5 Test3 DVD which passed mediacheck on a different
machine. Booting with the installed FC3 hard disk and the DVD is readable; all
looks well.
Also tried the ide=nodma option to no avail.
Have you had any success yet?

Jumping into the middle, pardon if this has been suggested...

Do you have DMA enabled for that device? This has been known to
cause errors.
