Good morning,
While installing Debian Sid from CD's I experienced what I thought where disk read errors,
discovered that the CD-rom drive was at fault.
Replaced the Liteonit CD-ROM with a Liteonit CD-RW drive similar result,
replaced the Liteonit CD-RW with a 4KUS DVD-ROM with ATAPI/E-IDE interface now this works perfectly.
Conclusion drawn is that the drive it self may not actually be at fault but the firmware used by a particular CD manufacturer was unable correctly identify & access the info on the disk.
This problem may only relate Sid.
Should you come across a like problem try the above solution.
I wish to thank Scott from Linux IT for his thoughts.
Hope this note will be of use to someone.
Laurie
