If I had to guess, I would say you are either having hardware
problems or lucked into a batch of bad disks. Your cdrecord
command line looks fine (with or without the -data) and your
downloaded image checked out. If you have a second batch of
disks, or can borrow one from someone else, I would give that a
try. You might also want to check cables and make sure nothing is
loose, poorly seated, etc.

Just a few days ago, I did almost exactly what you are trying to
do. I burned a bootable copy of YDL 2.0 on an x86 Linux system
with a SCSI CD-R using cdrecord.

Sorry. No clue on this one.
