I'm having the same problem as Frode Petersen had with FC 6. See May
2007 list thread:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-May/msg00430.html
I was able to install FC 6 OK, but I have had the DVD not recognized
(after a successful boot) in both F7 test 4 and now the real F7. (My
bad that I didn't report it, but I figured surely someone else would
have the same problem.)
As near as I can tell in the thread, no one had a solution except to try
another DVD device or maybe a new mobo.
Frode's last msg had a complicated test he was going to try, but his
first thesis (that I agree with) is that a DVD that boots Ok should be
able to be used for the rest of the installation!
The exact sequence of events for me is:
Boot the DVD for a graphical install/upgrade
select:
"English"
"US"
"Local CDROM" # shouldn't that now say CD/DVD? or one selection for
each?
then the response:
Unable to find any devices of the type
needed for this installation type.
Would you like to manually select your
driver or use a driver disk?
Selecting "select driver" gives a LONG list that I've selected all and
found none that work. The system eventually gives a failure and reboot.
My mobo is an old Gigabyte Dual Athlon with USB 1 and all IDE devices.
I'll be happy to do some more detailed logging if anyone can suggest
something meaningful to try.
Thanks for any help.

P.S. I'm now going home and try F7 on my new home system, currently
running FC 6.
