Try starting the install again, but skip the disk check this time. I
have one machine that has this problem - it can no longer access the
DVD after the media check. But if I reboot, and skip the check, it
works. (The DVD passes the check.) I keep meaning to look into this,
and get enough details for a bug report. But I start playing with
the new version, and I forget about it again. Just to make things
interesting, The same DVD works in another machine after doing the
check, so it is something about the first machine.
