There is another possibility. Your drive may be of the kind that does read the 
dvd media, but *does not* boot from it. The easiest way out of this situation 
is to burn a rescue cd, start the installation, and then choose the option to 
install from dvd. The installer will then ask you to put the F8 dvd in the 
drive, and read it no problem, once it is already booted.

Best, :-)
