I haven't seen this happen myself. I would hazard a guess that it
depends on the drive model and driver. Perhaps something isn't being
reset correctly after the test.

That would also be my guess as well. I cannot remember now whether
this happened in prior version installs now. This time I was affected
recently with grub errors after an update and was no longer able to
boot F9. F8 still worked if grub loaded and did not report a stage 2
error. Tried re-installing F9 and it always seemed to stall towards
then end (file #835 of ~936) for a generic install (take the defaults
for choices and modify once a base system was installed) so I tried
numerous times and encountered the post media check hang. I could
only successfully install this time from the latest Fedora Unity
release. Not sure if I tried the media check then as that was ~ my
8th attempt to reinstall....
I am not sure how to get any log errors when an install is
unsuccessful to find out more for a bugzilla report. Today I did see
some messages regarding other consoles for error messages and will
keep this in mind if I do encounter such a problem again.

Reply to both Poc and Fennix:
I'm going to try Ken's suggestion and, if it doesn't work, will try the
6 CD process. I said I would get back today with the results, but I am
in "SIGGRAPH hell week" and don't think I can face anything else until
the weekend after it ends.
Thanks for the replies,
Paul
