This might be as simple as needing to burn the DVD at a slower speed.
Some older/picky DVD/CD drives just can't read media that is burnt at
faster speeds.

I burned FC6t1 to a DVD and verified it. The DVD automounts on

ground on as though there was an imbalance, unable to boot. I took the disk
to another box, and it booted to the install screen without problems.
I put a Knoppix DVD into the laptop drive, and that boots OK.
This is reminding me of problems reported on the Mandriva lists. As I recall,
it was said that two versions of boot were available, one on CD1 and one on
CD2 to get round the physical problems some people were experiencing. Is
this a real problem, or a figment of my ancient laptop?
