So that would be a "no". The fact that it worked on a different system
is irrelevant unless the other system is identical, because the exact
set of RPMs to be installed can easily vary from one system to another
(differnet kernel architecture, different video card, etc.). Murphy's
Law dictates that your DVD could have a bad spot just where one system
reads it and the other doesn't.

Run the disk check before looking any further.
