now that is interesting, because;

while you and jdow where chatting, i decided to burn a .iso to
a dvd-r/w with k3b;

 ]$ k3b -version
 Qt: 3.3.6
 KDE: 3.5.4-26.el5_7.1 Red Hat
 K3b: 0.12.17
 ]$

and look at the debugging info to see what k3b showed for command line;

+++
growisofs command:
-----------------------
/usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/hdd=/hd/b/06/pmagic/pmagic.iso \
-use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -dvd-compat \
-speed=4 -overburn -use-the-force-luke=bufsize:8m
+++

as you can see, '-dvd-compat', not '--dvd-compat'


 ]$ growisofs --help

___

that is what counts.

as mentioned before, failing md5sum is not an indication of a bad burn.

welcome.

glad to see you are now able to boot, now to install.


in addition, as a note of curiousness, do you have k3b configed to open
cd/dvd drawer?

ria, this was once a problem and could cause crashes during check. if
so, disable to see what happens.
