If the md5sum is correct on the ISO image.
56f85b81b3df459ebe165f49ec62fb8  openSUSE-11.0-RC1-DVD-ppc.iso
8af26dc94fff979af32a9c4ae3aba8ac  openSUSE-11.0-RC1-DVD-x86_64.iso
509e3088a189fabbc5d69376b6ee223f  openSUSE-11.0-RC1-DVD-i386.iso

Then before installing I would do a diskcheck.  Sadly SUSE left that out of
the boot choices on the installation DVD but it will return on the final I hear.
Go to a working SUSE system.  For example 10.3 under YaST and choose
"Media Check" and see if that gives you a clean bill of health on the DVD
prior to installing.
