Just to clarify, the mediacheck I'm talking about is checkisomd5 from
the anaconda-runtime package, which is the equivalent of the regular
mediacheck, but done while booted up in a currently installed Fedora.
So my mediacheck was using the kernel in the distro being used at the
time (F7/F8), not the kernel on the old install discs themselves, as
would have been the case if I booted from them.
