you probably had a download/burn error. try to download and burn the image again. You'd also try to clean the disk itself if it is not a fresh burn.

Also please note that experimental releases might have serious bugs in them. How about using something that's stable? :-)

I'll give that a try. Was using the experimental since I couldn't boot with the stable 2004.2 cd. Thanks for the help!
