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.
