Ran the check again, same thing. Took that DVD back to the machine I burned it on, downloaded the MD5SUM from one of the mirrors and checked the file I downloaded. That checks. Used cmp to compare the .iso file to the image on the DVD, they match, the DVD is good. Hmm, what gives.
Burned another DVD and verified the burned image matches the .iso file. Took the new DVD to the machine I'm doing the install on and ran the check again. OMG, it did the same thing at 76.2%.
Now I'm thinking, wait, it says "Failed to start media check" is that a poorly worded message or does it really mean what it says?
you might try verifying that system you are getting error message on has a good cd/dvd drive.
burn another dvd at at least 4 speeds slower.
if runs ok, bad drive.
if still fails, bad drive.
another way you can check is to pull iso on system you are having problem with and burn dvd.
if you get error, get a new drive.
