"I want to be sure they work before burning >them permanently" seems to me to indicate what, IIRC, is "UDF Packet >Writing" software, and I wouldn't be at all surprised is that was >a contributing factor here; however, IANAE. I don't use UDF or Packet Writing ... keep them permanently turned off as I never use them and they're more problems than they're worth. I burn on CD-RWs, but with closed sessions, to test if the images work. I don't wanna waste CD-Rs on broken images. Normally I've never had any problems using CD-RWs for bootdisks, this is the first time. >The interesting thing is that the bootloader seems to load. Yeah, the bootloader loads, then seems to try and load the kernel, and then fails. But it doesn't do it with a bunch of corrupted characters like a lot of other reports.
