Well, this list isn't moderated (as far as I know). Perhaps something's out to lunch in the mail delivery path. > Something is definitely wrong here.

This makes no sense!!!! If you see the same issue with other media (in particular original S8 media like you mentioned) then I'd bet it's a hardware issue. It's certainly not an issue with your burned media. Out of curiousity, does the cdrom light come on when you boot cdrom? My old support memories are ringing about something like the cdrom alias in the obp is possibly wrong? maybe try something like running devalias cdrom at the ok prompt and see where it points to and if that is correct. probe-ide would probably be useful info as well.
