Funny thing - I have a Award 6.00 BIOS so this is not that problem. But I |
| 18 |
have a Symbios SCSI controller (Dawicontrol DW-2976UW) and a Yamaha CD writer |
| 19 |
(CRW8824S), too. |

I cannot boot either since you switched to isolinux. |
| 22 |
Errors: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
isolinux: loading spec packet failed, trying to wing it. |
| 25 |
isolinux: failed to access CD-ROM device; boot failed. |

I booted from my Toshiba DVD ROM as well as from the writer - same errors... |
