Did you check the MD5 values of the ISO that you
downloaded? Perhaps you got a bum download...

Alternatively, you could try the older 2004.0 LiveCD -
which is what I used to build a machine a few weeks ago.
Once you get it up and sync'd with the main portage tree
(as opposed to the static snapshot that's on the CD),
you'll have the latest software anyway. (right?)
