You specifically state here that there is a problem with the checksum. If you are sure the chesksum is OK then the image is not corrupt. > k3b won't check the md5sum for me. k3b crashes when checking with an > error about a bad device.

OK, so the iso is sound. k3b should be able to check the disc integrity (haven't used it for a while, but it uses either md5 or checksum. You say that the error given by k3b is a device error? if you are using rewritable discs, just try writing any data to the disc and see if it works. If you are still getting errors, you do have a device error. Check the dmesg data to see/get a clue what the problem is. Try: dmesg>tail
