Need help creating CDs that will pass mediacheck

[Dan Trobridge]

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.
