I'm pretty sure that it was fixed, or at least less likely to

when F7 came out, and found by going through a pile of old Fedora CDs
that I burned without padding that all of them passed mediacheck
anyway, though many of them failed earlier. Testing now with F8, I
find that 3 out of 3 of them fail (I was convinced at that point and
stopped checking).
Just to clarify, the mediacheck I'm talking about is checkisomd5 from
the anaconda-runtime package, which is the equivalent of the regular
mediacheck, but done while booted up in a currently installed Fedora.
So my mediacheck was using the kernel in the distro being used at the
time (F7/F8), not the kernel on the old install discs themselves, as
would have been the case if I booted from them.

find mediacheck
This suggests certain hdparm parameters get applied when you boot the
dvd and start linux mediacheck, this wouldn't happen if you are running
from a live f7/8.
Also there is suggestion to try:
ide=nodma mediacheck
in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=177526
Does either make any difference ?
