I'm in the process of a 5.1 to 6.5.1 upgrade in my stagging environment (Windows Master, 4 Linux Media Servers) as of yesterday and today.  When finished, I'll be heading east to upgrade the operations there.  Upon returning, I'll then upgrade the production system here (Windows Master, 11 Linux Media Servers with ACSLS and a SL8500 Library), so I'll have much to share.
 
One thing I've noticed (with two different 6.5.1 media sets); many read errors.  We've found it easier to copy the data to a media server and NFS mount to that location and run the install's from there.  At minimum, I'd check the read or copy capability from the CD/DVD drives on the systems you intend to upgrade.

Interesting...

Do you mean you are finding some of the NBU media to be defective?  Or are we talking older drives that are flaking out?
