Anyone been able to successfully burn disks from these and
    have them past media test?

I've tried both cdrecord and xcdroast and both result in
    disks that boot but fail media test.

try using -dao -pad with cdrecord
My dvd iso is still downloading - but I bet that's it.

Thanks. I'll try it.

I downloaded the DVD and it passed the sha1sum test.  I then burned it 
with K3B at 4x speed and it failed the media test.  I installed anyway 
since I was putting it on an unused partition.  It installed, but 
instead of putting GRUB on the first sector of the boot partition, it 
wrote GRUB to the MBR.  (Yes I did make the correct choice in the 
Advanced Boot Options page.)  I recovered fine using my FC3 Rescue Disc.

Has anyone had the DVD pass the media test?

Can anyone confirm the GRUB problem?

I will burn another one at slower speed and try again.

I'm at 46% right now - unfortunately, BT crashes my router - so I have  
to use standard lftp :(

I won't be able to test the GRUB problem since I will not let it  
install grub - but thanks for the heads up, I'll have my rescue CD  
handy in case it has a bug and tries to install it anyway.

I too noticed this problem when installing Rawhide via netinstall. 
Luckily, I kept around a copy of my MBR before installing and simply 
restored it.

This bit me too. It's been bugzillaed at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=151204

If it's OK by me for GRUB to install itself into the MBR, will the
install work properly? I have a machine on which I want to test FC4T1,
but it can *only* be netinstalled this week (long story), so I can't
afford to get a non-bootable box. But if it boots, then GRUB is welcome
to the MBR (which is where I put it anyway).

Cheers,

If you're OK with it installing into the MBR, then it then the install
won't fail because of this bug.

There could, of course, be bugs that aren't yet found or fixed ;)

I burned another DVD, this time with K3B in a Suse9.2 system because FC3 
rejected two discs I tried.

Same FAIL on media check.

Changing to downloading the individual CDs to see if those work better.
