El Torito (the bootable CD standart) is a maze of twisty little
passages, all broken.

Can you write exactly what happens when you try to boot - e.g. where
exactly does it stop? does the BIOS recognise there is a CD and try to
boot it but something fails afterwards or does the BIOS bnever attempts
to boot the CD? is the media original or burned in both cases and have
you tried to burn another copy? can you check which file system the
images hold - ISO9660, ISO9660 with Rock Ridge extentions, Juliet, some
other variant thereof?

Try to supply as many details as possbile, maybe we'll find a hack.
