I have noticed a similar problem. I have several computers at home and
at work. The CD will only boot in 1 out of 4 of my computers. I have
tried several different burners and downloads.

I have not had time to look very hard but looking on the test list
(where this question really belongs) there is a known issue with the
test 2 CD and some, I think older, non-Intel systems. Interestingly
enough I cannot get the CD to boot on 2 Intel systems but it works fine
on and Athlon system.

Anyway, there are suggestions on the test list regarding how to work
around this issue for the older non-Intel systems that would probably
work in other cases as well. The test list archives are at
