   The {{{mediacheck}}} function is highly sensitive, and may report some usable discs as faulty. This result is often caused by disc writing software that does not include padding when creating discs from ISO files. For best results with {{{mediacheck}}}, boot with the following option:
  
-   {{{linux ide=nodma}}}
+   {{{linux ide=nodma
+ }}}
  
   Use the {{{sha1sum}}} utility to verify discs before carrying out an installation. This test accurately identifies discs that are not valid or identical to the ISO image files.

   * Some Sony VAIO notebook systems may experience problems installing Fedora Core from CD-ROM. If this happens, restart the installation process and add the following option to the boot command line:
  
-   {{{pci=off ide1=0x180,0x386}}}
+   {{{pci=off ide1=0x180,0x386
+ }}}
  
   Installation should proceed normally, and any devices not detected are configured the first time Fedora Core is booted.
