Both the drives I tried were SATA DVD writers, one an LG slimline (which is installed in the case the motherboard is now in, and the other a HP one borrowed out of one of our new servers :) It read the drive initially, loads the first splash screen and just stops and never progresses further. If you press enter at that point it goes to the options screen, selecting any of the displayed options does nothing. Got to be something different in the EMC distro cd than the official ubuntu cd that prevents it loading the operating system fully via SATA cd/dvd.
