1. Was this i386 or x86_64?
2. Have you run Media test od DVD('s) in system in question? Maybe DVD
drive can not read them right. Especially if you used higher speed to
burn the disk. I would recommend slow burning like 4x when you burn OS
DVD's (and 16x for CD's).
And have you by any chance tried the same DVD('s) on any other system?
