I found the amd64 dvd download to be corrupt recently. So do check the 
download -- did you verify your download?

Can you verify if another machine boots the CD?  Could be a bad download.

Could be a hardware incompatibility.

Also, could you try disabling ACPI at boot?

7.2 CD won't boot

2009-08-05 Thread John Nielsen.
Hi guys,

My 7.2 Release Disc 1 won't boot.  I get the following and nothing more:

CD Loader 1.2

Building the boot loader arguments
Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found
Relocating the loader and the BTX

I'm running on a Intel SE7501BR2, single Xeon, 2GB.  I have burned a
second CD and swapped the CD drive, cable and RAM, all to no avail.  I
have a RR1520 RAID controller, but removed that as well.  On-board SCSI
controller and serial ports have been disabled, too.  Nothing seems to
make a difference.

What on earth could be going on?

Thanks,

Brad Waite
