Dear community
I've just noticed that the CentOS 4.0 ISO's I downloaded from ftp.sunsite.org.uk fails the media check on installation. All four fail. The md5 checks pass and I've done 5 full installations from the set of failed cd's and no problems what so ever. I never bothered to do the media check untill a friend asked me what it does...
The installation works, wonder what the problem could be? Any suggestions or should I provide more information to help fix this if it might be a bug?
This is becoming a FAQ. It is not just a CentOS problem. It also happens to the recent Fedora and RedHat releases.
If you are burning the disks with cdrecord, try adding the -pad option to your command line.
You can also try using the ide=nodma on the installation boot prompt:
linux ide=nodma
