There is a reasonable probability that the CDs are OK, even though mediacheck
says that they are not.  Compare the checksums of the harddisk sources
(which are NOT the same as the mediacheck CD checksums) with the checksums
published by the mirror site for each file.  If the harddisk source is OK,
and 3 of 5 CDs pass mediacheck, then chances are that the other 2 CDs
are OK, too.

Did you try "boot: linux ide=nodma" like it suggests in the Release Notes?
This isn't guaranteed to work, but sometimes [1/2 ?  2/3 ? 3/4 ?] it does.
There CD-ROM spec is too loose; it is somewhat hard to determine reliably
where the end of recorded data is.  Old kernel module ide_scsi could deal
with the problem in most cases, but the current ide subsystem cannot.
