I have not burned any cd's on 9 because my burner is in an 8.0 machine but I have burnt many in 8.0 successfully. Since this question comes up everytime there is a new release and since you did not tell us what you are actually doing, I would suggest trying the following: "usr/bin/cdrecord -v --eject -dao dev=0,0,0 speed=8'", adjust the speed and device to your machine. Then do "md5sum /dev/cdrom" again adjusting the device as needed. See if the md5sum matches what Red Hat has published. If it matches it is a good cd. If it does not then at least you know for sure you have a problem to work out. If there is truely a reproducable problem here it needs to go in bugzilla. The key here is to eliminate all of the gui programs and to burn the disc in -dao mode. This is known to work many people on this list use the same command with great success.
