This problem seems like the one overcome with either booting with
linux ide=nodma
or with the other option to just disable dma for the CDROM drives.
The problem was with the 2.6 kernel compared to the 2.4 kernel. Anyway, 
the disk most likely was burned correctly and in a usable state.

This problem was discussed when people were hsving it when FC3 was first 
released. The archives should give you more information regarding this 
problem.
