  Try reburning. Using CD-R media instead of CD-RW sometimes helps.
Bad cable also produces similar errors in dmesg, but you can differentiate between these cases: the CD-ROM drive makes specific "re-reading" noise and slows itself down to 1x speed with bad media, and doesn't do so with bad cable.
Re-burned and  -62-pre4  CD is running like a top!
Good thing too, I only have 2 GB to build on. 1.5 for livecd files was not a good option....

I was using a CD-R...
That's a nice  "CD read error"  troubleshooting hint there Alex!
Re-reading was my case, and slowing down? By the time I was opening xfce I could barely hear it turning! But it kept trying till it got it. Interesting to see. Zooming right through the boot now. I see that my startup scripts from -62-pre3 match up nicely.
CD seems great so far.  Now I need to make some time and get to building!
Great Job, Thanks, +Howard
