This sounds like either a hardware problem with the CDROM drive or perhaps there are errors on the CD media you are using. I have not seen this problem before. Did you burn the CD yourself?
This seems to be a hardware incompatibility with the Abit KT7 RAID motherboard. I have changed it to an Abit KT7 (without the RAID components) motherboard and it works very well.
Thank you for the followup. Hopefully the 2.4 kernel will help with some of these hardware problems.
