Maybe I am expressing some ignorance here, as I have never heard of
the "dreaded couldn't read from media" error... a search of
bugzilla.redhat.com didn't turn anything up, either.

Assuming you are installing from CD-ROM... I would try 'linux
mediacheck' when you boot to the first CD, to test the installation
media.
