Yes, jigdo said the checksums were fine.

The cdrecord process didn't actually fail, it completed successfully. It's only the install process after booting from the CD which fails, but I have since found out why... see below...

I've used the jigdo download for a few sarge CD's now, and up until this time never had a problem

I did however resolve the problem... it's not the CD, it's the Sarge installer. Basically, it does not like the devices on my Dell laptop.

If I manually enter the second console and change where the CD mounts, everything starts working. This seems to be indirectly caused by the ide-scsi module.

I've now got Sarge installed on my notebook using an older jigdo image I had, and it's now working fine after updating with apt-get.

Thanks for your response Hugo, I got it just as I was about to reply to my original post to say I had found the problem :-)
