On my Hardy upgrade I also got the 'Kaffiene installer loop'.

But I also got another dialogue:

"xine Message - Kaffiene Player
The source can't be read.
Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (/dev/dvd)"

I found that the link for /dev/dvd did not exist, but the 'xine Engine Parameters' pointed to it.

A link '/dev/dvd1' did exist, and pointing the 'xine Engine Parameters->media->Beginner Options->dvd.device' at it fixed both symptoms - 'the codec install loop' & 'the can't be read'.

Beware, you seem to need to click 'Apply' before leaving the xine Engine dialogue, otherwise the changes made are lost.
