Hye! I have a problem installing Fedora 3, I created the first CD using nero with 4x speed, I also checked CD for errors using CDCheck utility. All seems to be OK but I steel get on CD boot the following message: isolinux image checksum error, sorry Boot failed: press a key to retry. I dont Know what is the problem, this could be a problem with nero? Can somebody help me?
Run MD5Sum on the ISO image to see whether it downloaded correctly.

I've downloaded and burned FC3-disc2 three times and burned two CDs. All three downloads (from two different sites, Red Hat for one) generate the same MD5 sum in k3b and the checksum agrees with the one posted. Nonetheless the FC3 installer media check claims there is a problem with the discs, "bad checksum."
Any idea why? Burning coasters gets old fast...

If the ISO is OK, as you've just proven to us, then there are two other culprits:
1> The CD is not burning correctly.
I think this is not the likely culprit, so try #2 first.
2> You have a CD-Reader device or IDE controller which is not quite 100% good with DMA mode.
Try running the install with the option to turn off DMA. There's plenty of posts on this mailing list about that - check the archives to be sure. I think it's something like cdnodma or ide=nodma or something like that.
