Sometimes I get can't recognize CDROM drive, sometimes it's ok. I was able to have the booted image do a checksum check of the dvd and it passed ok. It was ever so helpful - on a few occasions to start the update, remove old kernel's, install the new one, then Die in the middle on some random rpm with a cdrom read error. If you tried to continue the process, after one or two tries it would read that package and then fail on another. Eventually it would lock up the whole system. I was previously running FC1 and FC1 had no issues reading or writing dvd's, so I don't think the hardware suddenly broke. steve
