OK - that answers one question. Now the question of whether you have a good
burn. Let's start with the download. Did you follow the instructions at
http://fedoraproject.org/en/verify before burning? And did you tell xcdroast
to verify the burn?
One last question. Considering that you said it was an old laptop, have you
ever done an install from a DVD on that laptop before? I ask because I have
an old laptop and had to install from the CD set.

ok. that proves your iso.
now 'sha1sum /dev/sr0' or what ever your drive is, to check your burn.
poc,
please excuse my jumping your 'thread ravel'. i was sorted by
date and hit 'reply' and went ahead anyway.
anyway, i need to take a break to tend to my mom. then i have to
cut grass in back yard. johnson grass has gotten so high, squirrels
are walking around on pogo sticks to see where they are.
later.

Was that DVD burned on exactly the same media you are using for F9?

All that means is that the ISO file on your hard drive is not corrupted.
It says nothing about the DVD copy.

give him a chance to try 'sha1sum /dev/sr0'.
with dvd in drive, of course.

This is what I got:

I'm afraid telling us the hash value is of little use. It's either what
it's supposed to be (compare with the SHA1SUM file) or it isn't. If it
isn't, the DVD is bad. Rinse and repeat as needed.
Also, was the sha1sum run on the target machine or the source machine?
It's not clear from your earlier posts whether or not the laptop already
has a running Lnux system on it. If the check was run on the source
machine and passed, there could still be a problem with the target
machine.
Plus you still haven't said if you checked the *media*. The physical
composition of DVD blanks depends on the manufacturer and not all drives
work equally well with all brands. http://www.cdfreaks.com/media/ has a
lot of info on this kind of thing.

It looks like that it is a problem with the DVD reader, bit it is bizard
because I can mount the DVD with an installed linux by using the same
reader !
