Hi Paul, I had a look through your dmesg and it appears that there was a problem with the CD or the drive itself back then: [11127.377695] sr 1:0:1:0: [sr0] Sense Key : Medium Error [current] [11127.377717] sr 1:0:1:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: No seek complete [11127.377739] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1379324 I would guess that at that point the CD drive was on its way out so it is probably by coincidence that it happens to be completely dead now. I had a similar issue with my CD drive and thought all my disks were duds but it turned out about 4 months later the drive died and had to replace it :( I would also guess that this hardware problem is the reason why the install fails, and why part of coreutils segfaulted, perhaps parts of it were not loaded correctly as hggdh (C de-Avillez) suggested. I can only really suggest that you either replace the faulty drive or test this on another machine, but the evidence really does suggest a faulty drive, sorry for the bad news! :(
