Description of problem: When attempting an install/upgrade of Fedora 8 x86_64, I burned the Fedora 9 x86_64 ISO to a DVD+RW media. The Sony BWU200S DVD+/-RW Blu-ray Disc Serial ATA drive and Gigabyte BIOS was able to boot from the media fine and linux/anaconda loaded up just fine. However, when prompted what media to use for install, I selected CD/DVD and was told no valid media was present or something to that effect. Workaround: By selecting Hard Drive, and typing in /dev/dvd, I was able to get another error; however, it indicated something about /dev/sda1 not having valid install media/files. Yet, after backing up to the previous selection and then selecting CD/DVD, the installation was able to continue? Perhaps /dev/dvd doesn't get mounted in the right location initially or isn't available? How reproducible: I attempted both an install and a later rescue and in both cases I had to use the workaround. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Burn Fedora 9 (x86_64) install media to DVD+RW 2. Attempt install and select CD-ROM/DVD as install media 3. Observe no media detected. Actual results: The DVD+RW disk isn't in the proper location when coming through the Fedora 9 installer on the straight path. Expected results: Should be able to boot into the installer, select CD/DVD and continue.
Are you positive this is the official F9 DVD? This sounds suspiciously like a bug I fixed before the final release.
I was able to grab from a mirror a little earlier than the homepage was updated on release day. Is there a timestamp of a package or md5 or something I can look at. What package are we talking about?
I found this page... http://fedoraproject.org/en/verify I'll check it out this evening. I can't remote from here.
Yes, it looks like I have the final release version... [root@home Desktop]# sha1sum -c /root/SHA1SUM Fedora-9-x86_64-DVD.iso: OK f92576227484a4eeda0e86a497836c67c34d20ef Fedora-9-x86_64-DVD.iso -rw-rw-r-- 1 cuppett cuppett 4163696640 2008-05-07 14:25 Fedora-9-x86_64-DVD.iso
Are there any messages on tty3, tty4 or tty5 that indicate something strange going on with the DVD drive?
