Ok, I followed advice from that link, and it actually works:

[vmarko@sith ~]$ ./rawread /dev/dvd | sha1sum
dd if=/dev/dvd bs=2048 count=1672241 conv=notrunc,noerror
1672241+0 records in
1672241+0 records out
3424749568 bytes (3.4 GB) copied, 490.465 s, 7.0 MB/s
782a0e80de1b8e9f24e10e40055cc1b545390cbd  -

So it *seems* that everything is ok with the discs. Now I have to figure
out why those two machines do not boot from either of them. But that is
another issue...

I was not aware that sha1sum&friends have problems to determine the actual
size of data when reading optical media. This is a valuable lesson!

Thanks for help! ;-)
