Fedora Users — Re: FC3 CD Media Check

I had the same problem yesterday as my previous post indicated. The MD5's checked good on all of the iso files. I used Nero to burn the CD's on XP at 40x the first time and all of the CD's failed the media test. I then slowed my burn down to 4x on Nero and all of the CD's still failed. In each case I started the Linux install with the "linux ide=nodma" parameter. It did not help. Finally, I decided to go to my old Linux installation and try to burn the CD's there. I used X-CD-Roast. Long story short....Success! The moral of the story is.....

Searching this list's archive you can find out that
the media check with
FC3 is not reliable. For checking your CDs start
with "linux ide=nodma".
If it passes you can start installation without such
an additional
parameter (in most cases at least).

Hi.  I saw a post talking about a simple script which
just mounted the iso file then used a recursive
directory traversal and individual file checksum test
to see that the CD and the iso image are the same.  Is
there anything around freely available like this, or
does everybody have their own.  The post said that
this approach will show successful compares when linux
mediacheck says (incorrectly) that the media does not
pass.
