Perhaps a corrupt iso or burning error?
Have you tried redownloading the ISO and burning it at a slower speed, Ive read they like to be burned slow, say 8x-16x

OP
ohh haha i burned it at 40x
First verify that your download was ok by checking the md5sum.
Then burn at 4-8X speed. Slow! Especially if you are using cdrw media.
