Yes, it seems that I'm getting read errors on the CD.

Ok, but this fails:

dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 count=$(($(isosize /dev/cdrom)/2048)) | sha1sum

It always seems to fail on the last sector:

dd: reading `/dev/cdrom': Input/output error
355594+0 records in
355594+0 records out

It seems that this IBM ThinkPad Ultrabay CD/DVD drive is flakey, but 
why does it always fail on the last sector?  I used "cdrecord 
rawhide-i386-Live-20070925.iso" on an F7 system to burn it, and the 
same sha1sum test above always succeeds on that system.
