Re: Install disc verification fails

Trying to install fedora core 5, I've downloaded all CD and DVD images.
Checked the SHA1SUM and verified to be correct. I burn copy after copy
after copy using different burners. I try to verify on different
machines, with different CD and DVD drives, every disc fails
verification. During install it either hangs or complains about missing
files. I don't get it...

I've solved my own problem. When booting with 'linux "ide=nodma"' all
the CDs that failed now pass. I can't figure out why fedora has this
utterly useless fucking verification step in it's installer, since it
doesn't even work. Apparently it's hardware related, although I tried a
LOT of different systems and drives and every one failed.
