If the downloaded image shows correct md5sum, I would recommend checking=20
your
burned CDROM for equal md5sum:
dd if=3D/dev/cdrom bs=3D8192|md5sum

change "/dev/cdrom" to your correct cdrom device and don't interrupt,
this may take considerable time without showing any activity, depending
on the drive speed.

Sometimes, not all cdrom raw discs are recognized well in all
drives. Changing manufacturer/type may help.

A way to prove that the cdrom drive in question reads your burned cdrom
correctly, might be to attach the drive to a (linux) pc with scsi IF and
run the same command there. Older drives tend to accumulate dust in the
optical path, wich might cause reading problems as well, and sometimes
are not well designed for modern cdrom raw material. Maybe you can
attach a more recent scsi drive to your hp-9000.
