Hoary live CD fails on laptop

[Carl Devos]

Hello,

I've downloaded the hoary-live-i386.iso from 10th March 2005 and got
the following problem:
after choosing the language, location and keyboard I get the following error:

There was a problem reading data from the CDROM. Please make sure it
is in the drive. If retrying does not work, you should check the
integrity of your CDROM.
Failed to copy file from CDROM. Retry?

Which doesn't work when I retry.

Checking the CD-ROM(s) integrity gives:

The ./pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.10/acpi-modules-2.6.10-4-386-di_2.6.10-25.2_i386.udeb
file failed the MD5 checksum verification. Your CD-ROM or this file
may have been corrupted.

So, I checked the iso downloaded, it's fine:

Then, I checked the files after mounting the CD-ROM:

I tried to burn another one from another burner and it gives the same error.

Any idea on what's wrong?

Cheers,
