Try burning on OS X if you haven't. I've tried creating CD images 
(backups) on OS X and burning on Linux and found I cannot read the 
result on a Mac. OTOH burning with hdutil is fine.

Beats me.

I also had problems with FC4 on OS X. I gave up when I had to google for 
"how to get your disk out of a borked mac." (I think it was play with 
the mouse while booting).
