Just chiming in to confirm that for me at least the problem is not caused by download errors, burning software or hardware. Disc1 of K12LTSP-4.2.0-beta2 and -beta 4 both failed to boot but the boot.iso worked fine. The md5sums were correct.  K12LTSP-4.1.0 disc 1 burned with cdrecord on the same burner in the same machine, using the same meda, and at the same burning speed (8x) worked fine. 

It's clearly a difficult *bug* to reproduce...so until it's fixed the easiest thing to do is just burn the boot.iso.
