Trust me, the integrity checker is correct.  However, I've _always_ tried to
install any CD that fails it. You don't _need_ all the files off the disc -
every install makes some choices about what it needs, so sometimes it works
flawlessly, sometimes a non-vital package will fail, and sometimes a vital
step fails, and you're out of luck.  otoh, any disk that's _passed_ the
integrity check has worked for me.
