I guess I am confused on how you have verified the CDs if the mediacheck hangs?

If you have USB legacy support enabled in your BIOS you might try turning it off.
Comment 2 Clinton Gormley 2003-06-02 10:28:22 UTC 
The media was verified on another machine.

You were completely right - when I disabled legacy USB support, install
proceeded correctly.

thanks

This would appear to be a BIOS or kernel issue.
