I had this identical problem on a fresh install of both FC2 and FC3 . mediacheck showed my media was good. I solved it by removing all the memory cards and replacing them with known good cards. Once I did that, it worked like a champ. I did not ever use ide=nodma .

Please do so and boot installation/upgrading with linux ide=nodma This might even help to bypass the error you see now with CD2. If not you may have a RAM problem which comes up when deflating such large packages like OpenOffice.org. The glibc RPM is such a candidate too.
