Ok comparing the content of the original image:
# mount -t iso9660 -o ro -o loop /MultiCd/cd060213.iso /mnt/cd
# find /mnt/cd -type f -exec md5sum {} \;
37149d4961c0484f2cceb1a1614b253d  /mnt/cd/boot.cat

4714742585da795c3a69c262ce8c35ef  /mnt/cd/vmlinuz

and the content of the burned cd:
# mount /cdrom
# find /cdrom -type f -exec md5sum {} \;
37149d4961c0484f2cceb1a1614b253d  /cdrom/boot.cat

4714742585da795c3a69c262ce8c35ef  /cdrom/vmlinuz

it seems ok?

What is it lost???

yes: it was dated from the early time I was testing various distro to choose one ;-)

Ah, I never had chance to use a disk array with fc connection on one of my linux boxe, so I don't know how can it works with 
up to 255 luns?

Thanks again,
