On growisofs, burning bad (install) disks, and "mediacheck"...

Hmmmm...
Couple of thoughts here.
It would be nice if "growisofs" had a --verify option to read back
the data written to the media to ensure that the burn was good, and
to report failure if it wasn't.
Also, can we add a script to accomplish the check that booting "linux
mediacheck" does to the disk so that the media can be checked from
a running system (i.e. the same system one just burned the CD/DVD
on)?
Supposedly that system will have had all of its CD dma and 32-bit
(non)compatibility issues worked out (which typically isn't the case
for the system you're trying to do the install onto).
Is this a reasonable notion? Should I file a bug or two on the respective
subjects?
Meanwhile, I'll continue to stare at the failing install... Something about
not being able to find a driver, but I have no idea which driver...
