Next, I switched my CD-RW to be Master on the IDE channel and have my DVD-ROM as Slave. Then I burned a CD (Shrike CD 1) at default speed in DAO using XCDRoast. The CD boots on my laptop, but media check from the Red Hat installer fails the CD. Running md5sums against the CD shows an incorrect sum of:

HTH,

I think that magicdev is being held at bay. I still have to try out the burned ISO files for the laptop. (Installation CDRs) and also the audio CDs.
I recommend that the most touchy devices are used to resolve the problem. This will most likely benefit the better hardware, as well.
Changing devices from primary to secondary or killing off applications isn't a very good way to resolve issues for varied needs and configurations.
I don't know if Chris' problem was resolved yet. I filed a bug report and also added information to open and similar problems, during the beta phase.
Anyway, I think that they'll get the burner problem corrected soon. It is a real killer, if you have a lot of important or desired data to store on CDRs.
