Could it be something in the BIOS maybe? My rig that I built last year |
| 30 |
has a SATA CD/DVD burner and it boots Gentoo CDs, Knoppix, systemrescue |
| 31 |
and another that I can't recall. Knotix (?) or something. It should |
| 32 |
work. You may want to try systemrescue if you haven't already. I'd |
| 33 |
figure this out before something happens and you have to boot something |
| 34 |
to fix it. |
