Since you've already verified the ISOs with md5sum, then something may
be awry with either K3B or the tools that it uses to do the job. I
almost never had verification issues such as you describe with lenny
on even dodgy hardware (i.e., my old 32-bit box and a nec dvd-rw,
using K3B on 32-bit lenny. Considering that the drive had problems
reading DVDs, it seems that the CD part at least worked well enough to
get verifiable images burned to CD.

Now that I have a new 64-bit box, I'm running Hardy Heron 8.04 and I
get the same symptoms you describe - on many images, k3b says that the
verification step failed.

But this is on new media, new hardware - including a brand new Pioneer
SATA dvd-rw drive.
