I think this comment was from Satish about ide=nodma.  Why is that
necessary?  I've encountered the mediacheck failures similarly for the
first time ever.  If the drive operates normally, why do we need nodma
in order to check only disk2 and disk3 of the CD set?  

I'm not intending this as disrespectful to anyone; I'm truly curious
about it.  Out of the four install images, all four pass the MD5
checksum test, and two out of four pass the mediacheck.  On my CD
writer, cdrecord reports that the buffer was always adequately filled
and burnfree protection was never needed.  So assuming the integrity of
the media is OK (seems to be, since cdrecord reports no errors and the
CD is readable), I'd suspect a problem with the original ISO image. 
Whether you use DMA or not on your drive doesn't seem to have any
bearing on things....else other I/O would have trouble too.

Am I missing something?
