I happen to run across a couple posts on the fedora-devel list
about this. From the couple of posts that skimmed, it seems to
a problem with the 2.6 kernel & certain hardware combinations
that cause the media check to fail when it should not.

The two suggestions I saw were to "pad" (i.e. add -pad to
cdrecord) the discs when you burn them or to turn of DMA
and/or read-ahead off on your CD before running the media
check.
