CentOS - Jul 2014 - CentOS-6.5 LiveDVD problem

I downloaded the Live DVD for CentOS-6.5 and burned a DVD-R using a CentOS-6.5
desktop.  To test the validity of the new DVD I then rebooted the same desktop
using the same Live DVD.  No matter which Live DVD boot option I choose I see
this after the splash screen completes the Circle (sounds like a good title
for a novel).

Kernel panic - Not syncing - Attempting to kill init!

The very last line appears for each boot choice saving only the text mode
boot. In that case the line is absent but the rest of the output remains
unchanged.

I saw the same issues with my machine and never sorted it out (I just went back 
to my 5.10 media and installed that instead). I had a thought that I had burned 
a dual layer DVD, then tried to read in on a single layer drive, but I never 
verified this as the problem.

Validity of ISO file is tested with md5sum program. Have you done that?

related problem here, although I have this kernel panic after updating
to the most recent kernel. The machine starts fine using the next
older kernel version.

You could try it with an older version of the live DVD.
