When I burned the Fedora ISOs to CDs, I used cdrecord with padding to avoid the readahead bug - see

for how.  In short, you use something like

cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrom -dao -pad padsize=63s FC-6-i386-disc1.iso

It turns out that the same precaution is necessary with DVDs, and until recently I was able to use cdrecord for this, like

cdrecord -v dev=/dev/dvd -dao -pad padsize=63s FC-6-i386-DVD.iso

even though a lot of ugly-looking error messages appeared before the burn commenced. But in the last month or so, instead of burning, cdrecord simply gives up. See

This is a very long shot, and probably misses the barn completely, but since you said that this change occured recently, I wonder if you experience the same thing as I do (also with recent isos).

If you burn the CD image and try to boot it, does the installer find the media after you tell it to install from 'Local CR-ROM'? (I use the x86_64 iso, so there might be a difference).
