fc6 boot parameters question

I'm going to attempt an install on a dell dimension from 1999 vintage. Earlier on this machine an 120GB ide hard drive was made available running in a drive sled for the purpose. Media check passed on all CD's so I hav no question about CD integrity for the set. When the install was tried earlier a complaint about the media being corrupt when it tried to install its first package on the hard drive happened and I hit retry and was asked to insert disk - 99. Having done web research I've stumbled on the following list of boot parameters and would be interested to know if any of these may help an installation work. The last fedora that did install without these problems was FC3 if that's any clue. The list is as follows: all-generic-ide, nodma, nofb, apm=off acpi=off. This time when I try the install I'll check out I think ttyS4 and find out what comes up on that screen when the install breaks. Maybe I'll get lucky and find something useful.
