I've also seen such behavior when i've burnt a cd image to a dvd. also the installer may have trouble with your' particular hardware. what burner are you using and how is it connected (i.e. mother boards sata/pata interfaces, external usb, etc.). also what motherboard are you using? Have you burned a cd image to a dvd (sometimes that works, sometimes not, sometimes partially). You might alternatively try to install off of a thumb drive with the appropriate image (again sometimes you can cheat, using an image meant for optical media written to a thumb drive and again, sometimes ok sometimes disaster).
