Bug Description
During the installation process, a bad CD can cause any number of
things to fail. Unpacking the kernel (bug 37290), running debootstrap,
etc.
Lots of bugs are filed about software breaking when it is a faulty CD
or faulty drive. We figure these out when people send us dmesg output,
but they can't troubleshoot this themselves.
So having error messages that tell people that base-installer can't read
the CD cleanly would be a very good thing.

Sounds like a bad CD. Run an integrity check by selecting "go back" from the
language selection screen.
