This is a very long shot, and probably misses the barn completely, but 
since you said that this change occured recently, I wonder if you 
experience the same thing as I do (also with recent isos).

If you burn the CD image and try to boot it, does the installer find the 
media after you tell it to install from 'Local CR-ROM'? (I use the 
x86_64 iso, so there might be a difference).
