I actually don't know - does the media check just verify that it 'can  
read' all sectors, or does it actually checksum them?

I seem to recall at one time I've seen disks that would pass an  
installer's self-check but turned out to fail an md5sum.  I imagine  
this was 4-ish years ago, and I'm not positive on the distro, so none  
of it may apply.

Ben's theory about dye reflectivity incompatibility seems much more  
likely, especially given lowest-bidder components.
