What kind of BIOS do you have for booting from CD-ROM?  I have the
Adaptec 2940 (BIOS v1.23) with SCSI CD-ROM drive and run into the same
problem (with Debian 1.3.1 as distributed by the german J.F.-Lehmann
book shop).

I assume it is some kind of BIOS problem, maybe I need a BIOS update
of the SCSI controller for bootable CD-ROMs to work.

BTW: I also tried the bootable FreeBSD 2.2.2 CD-ROM from Walnut with
 exactly the same result.

The same thing happened to me on an HP Pavilion, but I lost access to
the machine before I could look into it any more.

I could load Linux from the CD by using the batch file to run LOADLIN.

This was with 1.3.1 from CheapBytes.
