Just taking a wild stab here at narrowing down potential causes.   I'm
assuming the hardware on this third box is completely different from the
other two boxes you mentioned?  If that's the case, and if its not too
much trouble, see if there's any difference in behavior if you swapped
the DVD drive from one of the other boxes into this third box.  

If it doesn't give out on you this time, then its a problem with the DVD
drive.  In which case, file a bug.  :-)
