ALSO ... if doing to VMWare, you can just point to the ISO file as a CDROM and boot from it directly.
Try to install from that and see if it passes the media test.
That should help determine if the problem is a bad DVD image when burned or some kind of kernel boot issue.
Not passing an md5sum/sha1sum can be caused by many things, some of which are hardware based but do not affect the install.
My usual advice - for those not using VMWare - is:
Once you have a valid ISO image (md5sum/sha1sum passed), burn it to DVD.
Attempt to mount the freshly burnt DVD. If the mount fails the DVD burn was bad.
