mktyap.sg and morgan.dollard, I think both of you are seeing two different problems (both from each other and from the original bug report). Please open a new bug report for the problems you are seeing.
forda, did you download the ISO images or are these the retail cds? If you downloaded them, did you check the md5sums? It looks like the kernel is having trouble reading the cdrom.
It was the downloaded ISO images. I've used these CDs to install another (stationary) machine w/o problems before. However, the CD drive in the laptop has had reading problems on other CDs, so it is entirely possible that it has had reading problems here as well.
Yes, that would probably explain the problem. Please reopen this report if you see the behavior on a different cdrom drive. Thanks for your report.
