Everything was fine. Then, after bringing the CDs home and running the
mediacheck, the first CD failed, the second passed, and the third failed.
So I downloaded the ISOs at home, and burned new copies at home, after
checking the ISO md5 sums again. Upon doing the mediacheck, the exact same
CDs failed. I decided to gamble that the problem was in the mediacheck
program, rather than the CDs themselves.
I have also been stuck at the mediacheck - I burned the CDs just as I
have been burning for years, with the cdrecord program, using the same
box as I had burned all my psyche, phoebe, shrike, and severn1 CDs.
No matter what I try, CD #1 and #3 fail mediacheck, CD #2 passes - so I
have a nice pile of severn2 CD #1s.
I am assuming the mediacheck is brain damaged and will move on with the
install, more later.
