After typing "linux ide=nodma" at the installer boot prompt all four CD's passed the media check. Without the ide=nodma argument they all failed. I had verified the sha1sum on the downloaded isos. I had also successfully diffed the images with the created cd's after mounting the images with the -o loop option. I had similar problems with FC4t2. Here's my question: Should I use the ide=nodma option each time I load FC4 or is the problem only with media check?
