I had a similar problem. I downloaded FC3, check the md5sums on the
iso and they were fine. Burned the 4 cds on my Red Hat 9 machine and
then tried to install FC3. During the media test, the first disc
passed, but 2-4 failed. I reburned 2-4 and they still failed. I then
tried "md5sum < /dev/cdrom" (on the RH9 machine) and got I/O errors
sometimes but did get the correct md5sum with discs 3 and 4. I tried
disc 2 a couple times and finally gave up and tried the install and it
seemed to work. I've got an old IDE Plextor 12/10/32 speed burner. 

I haven't tested FC3 a lot and probably won't switch until the gatos
drivers are available for FC3 for my ATI 8500 AIW card so I can use
the tv tuner. I've got two hard drives so I left RH9 on one and
installed FC3 on the other. For now I'm back to RH9.

I guess I could try to start the install again and enter:

linux mediacheck ide=nodma

unless Stormblaze gets to it before I do.
