Bug#618929: Additional info
It is certainly possible that my CD drive is flaky. Do you know of a
diagnostic test in the Debian release that I could use to simply read
several known good CDs for errors?
Thanks,
Mike

On your log there are also several read errors from the CD used to
install the system.
This could be due to bad hardware, bad disk or even a driver issue.
The read errors can lead to unexpected result.
I would be great if you burn an image on a cd-recorder /disc known to
work properly and verify if the burned cd is properly written/read
before installing.
You can also use a daily image with a newer kernel, those are available
on:

o-cd/
Also Debian 6.0 got an update:
