This is almost certainly an indication of read errors from your CD-ROM. 
This can be either a problem with the CD, the CD-ROM drive or a driver 
problem.

There are several things you can try:
- check the integrity of the CD-ROM (use <go back> to go to the main
  menu of the installation system and use the option there)
- change the use of DMA for the CD-ROM drive in 
  /proc/ide/ideX/hdY/settings (replacing X and Y with the proper values
  for your CD drive)

Cheers,
