This looks like a high probability of being bad media.  Can you try
reburning at a slower speed and seeing if that helps?
Comment 4 Thomas Uebermeier 2004-09-17 15:35:00 UTC 
The second crashdump is from a different media (supplied media kit),
the updated media has been used for other installs, md5sums have been
checked.

Can you try using ide=nodma?  Sorry, the last update got lost somewhere in my
mail apparently :/

Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to
investigate the issue further, and we have not received the feedback we
requested, we will assume the problem was not reproduceable or has been fixed in
a later update for this product.  If you have further details, feel free to
reopen the report with the additional details attached.
