The only way that I find to solve that problem was Dos boot diskette with a loadlin.exe program pointing to FC2T2 boot image.
I have Gigabyte(GA-8SIMLHP) motherboard with a SIS 651 chipset.

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
