7.2 CD won't boot

2009-08-05 Thread John Nielsen.
Hi guys,

My 7.2 Release Disc 1 won't boot.  I get the following and nothing more:

CD Loader 1.2

Building the boot loader arguments
Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found
Relocating the loader and the BTX

I'm running on a Intel SE7501BR2, single Xeon, 2GB.  I have burned a
second CD and swapped the CD drive, cable and RAM, all to no avail.  I
have a RR1520 RAID controller, but removed that as well.  On-board SCSI
controller and serial ports have been disabled, too.  Nothing seems to
make a difference.

What on earth could be going on?

Thanks,

Brad Waite

 What platform are you using?  eg amd64

Update BIOS, disable acpi.

Can you verify if another machine boots the CD?  Could be a bad download.

Could be a hardware incompatibility.

Also, could you try disabling ACPI at boot?

I found the amd64 dvd download to be corrupt recently. So do check the 
download -- did you verify your download?
