Summary: Update the mediacheck procedure Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: release-notes AssignedTo: relnotes@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: opensource@till.name QAContact: kwade@redhat.com
The Installer Beat (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Installer) mentioned two contradicting ways to verify the installation medium, which both seem to be wrong. In F7 Anaconda just asked whether or not to verify the medium without to manually edit the kernel commandline. When it is clear how to verify the F8 installations media, this should be described there, instead of the current contents.

------- Additional Comments From opensource@till.name 2007-08-10 15:22 EST ------- For the Live Images there is a menu entry "Verify and run from image", so I guess the procedure depends on whether one uses a Live Image or an Install Image.

------- Additional Comments From kwade@redhat.com 2007-08-10 15:37 EST ------- Thanks for the report. I want to make sure we understand a few things:
* Is the actual procedure that made it into the F7 fedora-release-notes package incorrect? Here is that page:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f7/en_US/sn-Installer.html
I guess we also need to check the Installation Guide on this subject, make sure it is in sync:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f7/en_US/sn-verifying-media.html
For the current contents in all of Docs/Beats/*, everything definitely needs updating. If you have a Wiki account, you could edit these changes you suggest directly. I know not everyone can agree to the CLA, but if you are able to, editing the Wiki for the release notes is a great community effort that extends beyond the Docs team.

Thanks for the report. I want to make sure we understand a few things:
- Is the actual procedure that made it into the F7 fedora-release-notes package
incorrect? Here is that page:

Yes, this is incorrect: "linux initrd=initrd.img mediacheck" does not work. Someone changed the "linux" to "vmlinuz" in the wiki at one place (it was mentioned twice), which does no harm, because it asks whether or not to verify the disc but this would happen anyway. I guess it is also not needed to reboot. I do not know, whether or not the "ide=nodma" is still required. The F7 Live Image has a "Verify and run from image" entry, too. And this entry does not use "mediacheck" but "check" and some more kernel commandline options.
I guess we also need to check the Installation Guide on this subject, make sure it is in sync:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f7/en_US/sn-verifying-media.html
Ah, the install guide is correct (and in contradiction to the release notes). One minor issue is, that the Live Images are afaik not only CD images but can also be used with usb sticks, I read that Jesse Keating prefers "Live media" instead of "Live CD".

Yes, I know, but I just found out, what the correct documentation for this is. And I cannot verify it for F8, yet, because the images do not work in my virtual machines.
