ls -l <the iso file>

write down the length
(my copy of ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386.iso is 732336128)
divide by 2048 to get a number of blocks (should divide evenly)
If you did the burn with cdrecord, it probably printed the number
of blocks, and you can skip the previous part.

dd -ibs=2048 -count=<number of blocks> -if=/dev/cdrom | md5sum

That should get you a valid md5sum for the disk.

If the sum is OK, I'm afraid I don't know what to recommend next.
If fails on two _different_ PCs, with differnet mobos, video, etc?

BTW, if you have IRC access from one of your other boxes, try 
joining #emc on irc.freenode.net - there are multiple people there
and someone might have some other ideas.
