I too have an old PB, the 4x CD-ROM was giving me the same problems when I used either CheapBytes Cds or ones I burnt at work. I replaced the CD with a 24x and everything went fine afterwards.

Some older CD-ROM drives tend to have problems with homeburnt cdroms (and
CD-RW media even more so), due to the color of the media. These are the
classical symptoms. You're probably best off using a different cdrom drive
to install from (I'd just take out that 24x for a bit). Check the drive
using a CD off a conventional press.
