I am trying to install "everything" from the new FC5 release and apparently, when you install "everything", i.e. everything except Language, I had to insert disk 1 (of course) through to all the CD's needed to complete the install...

"Please insert Fedora Core disc 4 to continue"
I put the FC5 #4 into the CD and pressed "OK"
This results in an error message:
"That's not the correct Fedora Core CDROM"
Ok... thinking that I burned CD #4 wrong (I checked earlier that CD1-5 was valid) I burned another CD #4, checked it, then put in into the CD drive and hit "OK"
Same error message was reported....
Sigh... now what... what can I do to complete my installation?
sounds like something went wrong with your download - you probably need to download another copy and burn it again...did you do an sha1sum on the images before you burned to disc?
Craig
Yes, I checked sha1sum on all of the images and they checked out. I also ran the "disk-checks" at the start of the FC disc #1 where it asks and it checked out as well.
Anything else? Dan

---- considering that you are the only person reporting the problem...it's obviously local to your setup...try burning it again at a slower rate i.e. 4x or even 2x

You need to do a media check on all the CD-s, or in this case CD-4.

Although it checked out, did you check that it was actually disc 4, and not one of the other discs burnt again?

For my part i killed likely 15 Cd's. I downloaded it from 3 different sources. And burn it with 2 different computers. (ftp server, http server, torrent) The SHA1SUM was correct... Bit the media test didn't work, i even use the "verify disk" of Nero.
Something strange: I tried to do the media check for CD 1. And one in two it works. But it never worked for cd 3 and 5.
I ll hope the dvd version will have a better result rate...

Humm, I assume, but have to ask, did you turn off the dma when doing the sha1sums, both during the installers own check and yours? You may even have to turn it off while doing the install, but so far no one has said thats required.

So did I but it *can* be the fault of burning CD at too fast a rate, me thinks. Burned at 32x failed (I presume) but was able to burn at 16x and installation finally accepted it. Media checks gives false positives me thinks.

Yeah... I did the same thing. I downloaded FC5 #4, checked sha1sum, burned the CD#4 (at 32x) w/ Nero 6.0 and this passed media check but failed to be accepted by install asking for it. Frustrated, I went to another system with a new DVD/CD combo, Nero burned the CD #4 there but with 16x rate, the media checked ok, and FC5 install finally accepted it.
All in all, I lost 3 CD's in this ordeal.

I suggest that you do not use CD-R's but rather CD-RW's, since then any problems with the burn could be mitigated by a rewrite without costing you extra CD's.

I had a similar problem, but I had to burn a CD-R instead of a CD-RW. And linux mediacheck passed CD-RW on two systems, but same CD-RW failed on another system!!! The other 4 CD-RW passed mediacheck on all computers: please note same brand of support. And the problem came from disk #4!!! -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag

Some older drives are only capable of reading 1x-4x CD-RW media. I have had mixed results with the 4x-12x and 12x CD-RW. Similarly, some DVD drives will not accept or cannot read reliably DVD-R media but will read DVD+R.
Burn speed is always an issue. Unless you are using the same drive on which you burned the software I would recommend that you burn at one half the maximum speed of the media/drive.

I have also had issues with certain (actually many) cdrom drives failing to read during long sessions heating up and not functioning properly.

Next time round with FC6, I will prefer a disc less install. Mount iso's on a spare HDD and use askmethod.
What hurts more than the cost of CD is the cost towards lost peace of mind for the extended period while CD are to be burned at extra low 2x/4x/nx speeds, media checked plus SHA1SUM checked on CD - yes, still with no guarantee that the damn thing will work.
This all is despite having given all due consideration to selection of a good computer configuration, hardware including good and not-the-cheapest CDVD-burner, a good software updated to most current, buying best quality media kept always in wraps to avoid dust - what more - may be someone will suggest, you are welcome!
Further extending the r*nt, it is the irksome feeling, that something is failing on you. Inability to fix the root-cause.
I wonder, is it only fedora? or other *nix CD-s also irk-itch like that. Don't mind fellas but guidos CD-s do not suck like that. --- Anil Kumar Shrama

I reported in a previous thread that the cause of the problem was that the download did not match up with the sha1sum. What was odd, is that the install disc testing said it checked out ok and it was only when I tried to use it that it failed. I guess it cannot be stressed that after a download - check the sha1sum EVERY TIME and disc space may match exactly but the checksums gives a more accurate picture. This is a hard lesson learned for me.
