This is caused by a kernel bug. The same thing is happening to me, only with the x86_64 ISOs. md5sum reports correct checksums on all my ISO images before I burn them, but the FC3 installer rejects all four of the CDs. I burned them multiple times at various speeds down to 4x on 48x-certified media, but it made no difference. Curiously, 3 out of 4 of the i386 FC3 ISOs I burned on the same burners passed the test. (Disc 2 failed.) Is it safe to use these CDs to install? I was able to install without any problems. Using linux ide=nodma during install will resolve this and will not give this Media Check failure issue (with CD2 and CD3 isos) I faced the same problem with: _NEC CD-RW NR-9100A Drive. which could not work properly with dma during Install. _NEC CD-RW NR-9100A should be added to the list of nodma blacklist. (Is there any Bug# which is collecting the devices which has problems with DMA) [ors@h1c661s ~]$ cat /proc/ide/hdc/model _NEC CD-RW NR-9100A [ors@h1c661s ~]$ dmesg | grep CD hdc: _NEC CD-RW NR-9100A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdc: ATAPI 40X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 [ors@h1c661s ~]$ I had same problem on a Sony laptop w/ Toshiba DVD-RW SD-R6012. Setting ide=nodma resulted in passing the media check. I should have noted above that all of my FC4 CD images were failing until I added the ide=nodma switch. An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. Does this mean that the iso distribution itself has been updated? no, the ISOs never get respun. Sometimes a new boot.iso is created, but not always. For this bug, after an installation, and update to the new kernel, running the media check from the anaconda-runtime package should now work. I know its a little backwards to do the check /after/ you've installed, but this should also mean that FC5 and onwards should have this fixed. Hopefully. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 131858 *** |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Description of problem: Duplicate of 137217 ? I get media check failures using FC3 for these disks burned with "uptodate" RH9 FC3-i386-disc2.iso FC3-i386-disc3.iso MD5SUM's for all 5 discs (1-4 + rescue) agree with values posted on mirror site. Reburned discs 2 and 3 at slower speed with better media in RH9 cdrecord -v speed=12 dev=1,0,0 ~robert/FC3-i386-disc2.iso and obtained errors again at the very end of the media check process as indicated by the progress bar. My RH9 system burns CD extremely reliably (~1 coaster/80) so I will ignore the failures and try to install anyways. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Burn MD5SUM checked FC3 ISO images on patched RH 9 system using cdrecord -v speed=12 dev=1,0,0 ~robert/FC3-i386-disc2.iso 2. Insert ISO 1 in cd tray and boot system from ISO 1. 3. Run media check on 1,2,3,4 and rescue. Actual Results: ISO 2,3 fail media check at the very end of media check as indicated by the progress bar. Expected Results: Media check to pass for all FC3 ISO images. Additional info:
