The problem I'm referring to is only with DVDs, since cdrecord continues to work perfectly well with CDs. The first Fedora DVD ISO I burned was just a few months ago, after FC6 came out. I did some tests burning DVDs in various ways and running the equivalent of mediacheck (/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/checkisomd5 from the anaconda-runtime package) but haven't done a DVD install yet. Of course it's possible to go back to burning half a dozen CDs as a last resort.Andre Robatino skrev:When I burned the Fedora ISOs to CDs, I used cdrecord with padding to avoid the readahead bug - seehttp://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/coasterless.htm for how. In short, you use something like cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrom -dao -pad padsize=63s FC-6-i386-disc1.isoIt turns out that the same precaution is necessary with DVDs, and until recently I was able to use cdrecord for this, likecdrecord -v dev=/dev/dvd -dao -pad padsize=63s FC-6-i386-DVD.isoeven 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. Seehttps://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233745This 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).Frode
