Long long ago, in a mailing list far far away, a Red Hat Knight once uttered:
"*PLEASE MAKE SURE* that you are using the following command to
burn your CDs:
cdrecord -dev=x,x,x -v -dao -pad padsize=150s beta3-i386-discX.iso
I have seen mediacheck fail on CDs that were written without
the "-pad padsize=150s" option. I do not recommend burning the
images under Win32, unless you are using cdrecord for win32,
which I have verified as working correctly."
Don't ask where or by whom that was uttered. I can't tell you. I will say
that the person who said that above knows exactly what he's talking about,
and that it was uttered in 2002.
Under CentOS 4 itself, assuming an ATAPI CD burner, use something like (which
is the actual command I'm using):
cdrecord -dev=ATAPI:1,0,0 -v -dao -pad padsize=150s -eject
CentOS-4.0-i386-bin1of4.iso
k3b burnt discs can and do fail mediacheck; plus, it's faster from the command
line.... This is after, of course, you verify the MD5SUMs.
