I think I have seen this problem.
4.2.0 beta5 was booted and installed correctly in 2 different computers
- Dell laptop and AMD Athlon 900 computer.
Now I tried to install it to totally new machine AMD Smptron 2600+ MSI
K3M motherboard and samsung 52x32x52x cdrw.
So no booting. I tried same type cdrw - nothing. I tried old dvdrom -
nothing.
Now I was booting same dvd-rom with old AMD Duron 750 - it works, now I
changed dvd-rom with cdrw and it works too. So I burned boot.iso from
first setup cd and booted from it to install linux to this new machine.
Summary:
it must be something with new BIOS.
All other hardware and software works well.
ISO's was rsynced, md5sum was ok, k3b in k12ltsp4.1.1 was used to
writing cd-s.
Older computers haven't this booting problem.
boot.iso boots ok,
win2000 boots ok,
but k12ltsp4.2.0 beta5 disk1 not a single time boots in this new computer.
