DVD used: TDK DVD+RW

DVD Recorder: NEC ND-2510A with firmware 2.18.


I faced similar problems when I tried to install CentOS 5.1/Scientific
Linux 5.1 x86 from their DVDs in my natural machine (the firmware was
2.18 and it has been a stable one which I have been using for a long
time, it is the original stock firmware, not some hacked one)/

CentOS 5.0 x86 and Scientific Linux 5.0 x86 DVDs were installing OK.


Now I am using the CentOS 5.1 x86 DVD image directly under VMware to
perform the installation and will report in another message what will
happen.
