Corrupted CD maybe?
Could be. I burned it at 40x (it's a 48x TDK CD) using K3B with write verification, so it passed the md5sum after the write completed. I suppose it could be an incompatibility between my burner (a Pioneer 18xXxXx DVD burner) and the reader (a TEAC CD-540E).
I noticed that the target system, which normally runs (well, actually, walks is more like it) Ubuntu 8, only has 256MB of memory - could that be part of it?
The other oddball thing was that, after we had booted the LiveCD and given up on it, we had to reboot the Ubuntu in repair mode to get it back up (!!!).
I haven't tried it anywhere else just yet....

I usually burn critical CD's at lower speeds. It seems that they have a more reliable image when the laser gets to spend a little more time on the tracks.
