Not terribly strange. This is usually the result of having burned the
disk too fast. It's always advisable to burn an install CD at lower than
maximum speed, since it's less prone to errors. Most drives/drivers can
correct a lot of read errors, which is probably how you succeeded the
second time, but burning at a lower speed gives it an opportunity to
ensure that every bit is written properly.

These days I just keep a USB thumbdrive around for doing installs. With
the liveusb-creator, any livecd can be turned into a liveusb for
installation, and it doesn't suffer the same issues as a CD install (and
it can be a lot faster too)
