The md5sum is for the .gz file:

[root@beast current]# md5sum /mnt/parisc/palinux-0.9.2.iso.gz 
45b3f776f5e702b02a9e02cd10358c99  /mnt/parisc/palinux-0.9.2.iso.gz
[root@beast current]# md5sum /mnt/parisc/palinux-0.9.2-install.iso.gz 
a7819f5fc2f5418bcdcb1de3068baade  /mnt/parisc/palinux-0.9.2-install.iso.gz

As they are gzipped files, "gzip -tv <filename>" would also verify
that they downloaded correctly.  I have known some browsers 'helpfully'
uncompress .gz during download.  If you only have the uncompressed
versions the sums should be:

[root@beast current]# zcat /mnt/parisc/palinux-0.9.2.iso.gz | md5sum
b7f13d7175744e2d204a738f2ab32bc2  -
[root@beast current]# zcat /mnt/parisc/palinux-0.9.2-install.iso.gz | md5sum
