Well that's good - it eliminates the burner as the problem. Can you extract any errors from one of the failed installs - I'm told that from the menu on the installer on the text mode installers you can start up a webserver and then wget the logs from another machine, or if the install has scp on it then just scp the logs off to somewhere else. The more the merrier - dmesg errors about the drive or syslog info from the installer are what would interest people.
I'm fairly sure this is a kernel bug; what worries me is that if it depends on some specific placement of data to annoy the drive then perhaps it's not really fixed in the latest version, it's just the data moved; however if it really is the case that it got fixed between alpha1 and alpha2 that would make life a lot easier to track down.
