Downloaded and cut FC Dics 1 through 4. Installation runs fine until prompted for second disc. Installer reports "That is not the correct Fedora Core CDROM". I've verified the checksums on the disc. I've tried burning Disc 2 using 2 different CD burners. I've tried burning Disc 2 using 4x speed. I've tried the install on 2 different machines, both of which have had Redhat, Suse, and Gentoo successfully installed on them. Steps to Reproduce: Unknown. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Using Roxio CD Creator 6 to burn discs.
Do they pass the media check? Are there any error messages on tty4?
The discs pass the media checks. The only messages on tty4 are: <7>ISO 9600 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet level 3 <4>Unable to load NLS charset utf8 <4>Unable to load NLS charset utf8 <g> ISO 9600 Extensions: RRIP_19918
On your Gentoo/Suse, if you put the second CD-ROM of Fedora in your CD-Rom Drive and you execute the following command : $ md5sum /dev/cdrom (Replace /dev/cdrom by the the device descriptor pointing to your CD-ROM drive) Does it give you the same MD5Sum than the one of the second Fedora Core 3 Test 2 CD (which is 3695e6e4e0c2f72cf42ef5cc6167c5d9 referring to the http://fedora.redhat.com/download/test.html page) ?
The checksum on the disc is correct: 3695e6e4e0c2f72cf42ef5cc6167c5d9
I tried one more thing, which is burning the CD using different CD burner software (MyDVD - RecordNow). Same problem (I previously used Roxio CD Creator 6.0). I should mention that both burners I have used are combo DVD/CD burners, although that has never been an issue before including with burning Redhat and Gentoo discs.
Resolved: I downloaded Disc 1 again and re burned that CD. It appears that Disc 1 was the problem, because the install now proceeds.
