Different brands of CDs or just different CDs. I suspect the CD is close
of full and your burner is having trouble writing the outer tracks. What
speed did you write at? Can you tell if overburn was needed?

>Is there a better way to do this? will a MD5 sum of the burnt CD work?

Yes, you could do an md5sum, but that does not mean the CD is going to be
readable when the access pattern changes. The MD5 sum is effectively a
linear scan while the pattern during boot requires much more head motion
and drive speed changes.

Regards,

Steven
