One thing that has me wondering is verifying the cdroms with ide=nodma 
and then proceeding to an install. I have noticed this option being 
present in some grub.conf files that were recently submitted.

I performed an upgrade and did not get this line added to the grub.conf 
file. For the other installations, I did not worry about mediachecking 
the cdroms.

Anyway, I would suggest rebooting after the mediacheck passes, then 
installing without this option. Otherwise, you might need to remove this 
option from grub.conf after the install.

Just wondering!
