Hi, I did some more experiments: ... FAILURE ... messages appear ONLY if I try to boot from CD-RW. I suspected, that CD-RW was not erased properly and tried to erase every sector on the medium. This didn't change the behaviour.
Booting with ACPI disabled (option 2 during boot) solved the problem. On the sme system I can use a CD-R without any problems and with ACPI enabled.
