This is taken from a description of installing Fedore Core 5. Perhaps
it also applies in your case?
"There is apparently a minor bug in the installer causing some of the
installation CDs to fail the media test even though they are ok. If some
of your CDs fail, try again with "Linux ide=nodma" at the "boot:"
prompt. If they pass then, they are ok, but it's best to use the same
option when using them to install FC5. After installation, we'll remove
"ide=nodma" from /boot/grub/grub.conf when we add some other options."
