Hello,

I'm experiencing this with an "old" Pentium 4 desktop, and it's not any of the above problems:

 - I've tested with 5 (five!) different CD readers.
 - I've successfully booted the CD in other computers, and verified both the iso image and final cd to be OK.
 - I've checked the memory with memtest86+, both for the "default tests" and for the "bit fade test". All ok.

This problem exists with both 8.10 and 7.10 for the same pc.

I've had similar trouble with 7.10 on another PC, and an "all-generic-ide" option made it work. Unfortunately nothing that I've tried works for this one... I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that this PC's motherboard has SATA support, but all the drives are PATA.
