I have downloaded the cd isos for FC-6, and the sha1sums of the images test as good. I have burned to cd two complete sets of cds, and gotten one cd to pass the media check step. _Everything_ else fails, and fails multiple times.
How are you burning the CDs? It is most likely caused by the lookahead buffering used during the write process (or something like that, I don't fully understand). If you're using cdrecord, try adding the options "padsize=63s -pad -dao". It has worked for me. Such as something like: $ cdrecord -v padsize=63s -pad -dao dev=ATA:1,1,0 FC-6-i386-disc1.iso
As a side issue, how would I get the sha1sum of the burned cd? I believe that should remain the same as the image file, or am I completely a sea?
I've not found an easy way for this either, as you need to ignore any padding bytes at the end (which don't matter). So it's a multistep process where you read the raw bytes from the CD, truncate it to the correct length, and then SHA that. Something like this sequence where the CD is read into a file called "x.iso"... $ readcd dev=ATA:1,1,0 -f x.iso $ isoinfo -d -i x.iso ... Logical block size is: 2048 Volume size is: 346084 $ echo $(( 2048 * 346084 )) 708780032 $ dd if=x.iso bs=2048 count=346084 status=noxfer | sha1sum cc503d99c9d736af9052904a6ab14931b0850078 - -- Deron Meranda
