I've seen very finicky drives that work OK for sequential reads like the "check media" does, but have problems when doing random access and starting and stopping like you get with the actual install. Sometimes a DVD-R made on a different drive has worked better.
The old saw for CD/DVD's goes as follows: 1. Burn at lower speed 2. Use different media/manufacturer; e.g. +R instead of -R or RW. 3. Disable DMA I find that an NFS install works quite well in this type of situation.
