I think you've given the answer yourself. If you are getting I/O errors
during installation there is something wrong with your cdrom drive. I had
exactly the same problem as you; upgrade seemed to go OK but at the end X
wouldn't work. When I went back to install more stuff I started getting I/O
errors. I'm sure it was a hardware problem because I found the same errors
when reading the cdrom from a Redhat installation.

The message you are getting means something wasn't installed properly. You
need to replace your cdrom drive or find some other way of installing the
stuff.
