I attended a MythTV demonstration a few weeks ago and the installer
(Mythbuntu, I believe) hung during bootup. When a different CD was
used (fortunately he brought two copies) bootup and installation
proceeded without any problem.

So it's possible it's a media/corruption issue... although your
solution sounds more promising :)
