I've seen problems like this before, with a bad disk, which
looked perfect to naked eye.
Anyway, if you want to check what the problem may be, you
might like to generate an image of the CD on disk, mount that
image and then try to install from there.
To generate the image:
dd if=/your/cd/device of=/tmp/theimage.img
To mount the image:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /tmp/theimage.img /mnt
Then, update your /etc/apt/sources.list file to point to your
"mirror" at /mnt.
If you get problems while generating the image, then that may
be an indication of problems with the CD. But I've seen
situations when a straight read from a CD was more stable than
a random access read, which is what gave me the idea of using
the method above (at the time).
