Did you check the md5sum of the ISO?

Could you try with another DVD optical drive? or if you have a big enough usb key, dump the iso on the key and install from it (to rule out the case of optical-drive-gone-bad).

I burned a new DVD with checking, and k3b reported errors, so that's it.
I did a dd on a key, but did not manage to install from it.
The dual CD works, so I will use that.

Thanks
