Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Slightly OT - How do I get the FC3 cdrom to be bootable?

Alright, I found the bit I was looking for. To review: I downloaded the four FC3 isos and burmed them. All the md5sums checked out. Disc 1 booted fine, but two of the four discs failed the media check. I booted disc 1 again with the command: linux mediacheck nocddma. After this, the media check

I seem to recall having a similar kind of issue with FC3 -- I burned the .isos, booted up the first one and all went well. I did a media test and found that discs 1 and 3 (maybe 4) were fine but the others read as corrupted. I double checked the md5sums and the images were OK. I then tried burning

OK, the jury's in, I have a bad burner.  I went to work and burned a "disk 1", and tried it out that night.  Worked great.  Then I burned disk 2, 3, and 4 on my home machine.  Only disk 2 and 3 worked.  I had to burn the last disk at work.  Strange though, it's a dvd / cd burner.  Burned dvd's

OK, this is getting ridiculous!  Yes, I burned them as iso images.  And, yes, I turned on the cdrom as the first boot device in the bios.  And, yes, I tried booting them on a drive that was made this century.  I'll take the cd's to work tomorrow and see how they work on a couple of newer machin

Hmmm - All MD5 checksums match perfectly - Tried two different burners - Tried both R and RW media - Tried three different iso's, all from different sources, with validated MD5's - Tried booting on three different computers Like I said, I'm new to Redhat.  I'm probably missing something

Well it's pretty clear that it's a bad burn, and the fact that it happened twice indicates a problem either with the .iso or with your burner. Did you verify the .iso's md5 output? If the md5 checked out, then about all I can suggest is that you try it with a different burner. FWIW, I picked up a

Yes, that was the first thing I did.  The bios is definitely set to boot from CDROM first.  I tried the cd in two other computers.  I didn't work on those either, so I reburned the CD.  It does the same thing.  Very strange! ___ mythtv-users maili

I saw a post on a redhat site that said the fedora project uses a boot system that doesn't support cdrom drives built before 1997, which this one might be.  Could that be it? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/c
