I had this problem with discs burned off of an RHL 8.0 distribution. I 
got these errors and never did get around to making RHL 9 discs. I just 
up2dated the distro through RHN network.

If you are running RHL 8 and trying to burn the CD's, maybe ftp 
transferring the isos to one of your other distros for the burn might be 
a way to get decent burns.

I diagnosed this bug as related to interruptions during the burning 
process causing the interruptions and error messages to be part of the 
resulting CDRs burned.

You might want to stop magicdev, fam and any other program which could 
interfere with the burning process.

It sounds familiar but might be something else for you.
