Try downloading the ISO file and checking the md5sum before you burn the 
ISO image.  That will help you rule out download vs. CD burning 
problems.  If the downloaded file is corrupted, the CD will certainly be 
bad.

I assume you know what you need to burn a good CD, because you were 
successful with the other images.  But, if your download is good, search 
the archives about booting with 'ide=nodma' as a boot option.  I found 
that even though CD#2 was good, it would fail mediacheck without turning 
off DMA access to the CD drive.  I don't know the details, but the 
archives will tell the story.

It is possible that you have good CDs after all, check at each step to 
make sure.  Good luck.  Erik
