Thanks for the help everyone.  Still no resolution.  I have been able

to get disc1 to pass media check, but no others.  I was able to

upgrade one pc from RH9 to Fedora.  The PC which I wanted Fedora on

still will not take it.  I guess I am looking at a hardware problem

now.  The PC in question did take RH9, but no upgrade.

 

I can't say that this thread is solved as I still have not been able

to create a collection of discs that pass mediacheck...  On the other

hand I am running Fedora 3 on one machine and the other may have some

hardware issue with Fedora that it does not have with RH9.

 

For the record I have:

regrabbed, by torrent FC3.

Confirmed md5sum

burnt slowly(8x as slow as it would go and DAO)

Recomfirmed md5sum of ISO on cd

Past mediacheck on disc1 failed on all others

Tryed to install using: 

linux mediacheck nocddma

and

linux ide=nodma

  

At this point I have to assume that the CDs are good enough and move

on to hardware issue.  Install works on one machine and fails on

another.

I had problems with the media check, ended up downloading to another
harddisk and upgrading from there.
