Don't be too sure about that. it could be a media error, just in middle of the
kernel.tgz . Can you spot any syslog messages? have a cat on /var/log/messages,
dmesg and switch to the debugging console (on alt-f4 iirc).
It's easy to have the CD tested: switch to a shell console, cp /dev/cdrom
/dev/null and watch for error messages. (you might have to replace /dev/cdrom
with /dev/hdc etc., respectively)
