One of my computers fails every disk on mediacheck. Another one passes 
them all OK.

So there are two main variables here:
	1. Funky hardware that doesn't work with the mediacheck design
	2. Badly burned discs

The cause is #1 if burning at low speeds on good media still doesn't pass
mediacheck, but doing mediacheck in another computer passes the same disc.  
In that case, it's a matter of working with the kernel and anaconda teams
to track down the problem - filing a bug in bugzilla against anaconda is
the appropriate action.
