>Description:
3.4 CDROM fails to boot on two Dell 3500's (however does work on
desktop with ATAPI drive).
3.3 CDROM does boot on both laptops.
CDROM is a Toshiba CD-ROM XM-1902B.

When attempting to boot from the 3.4 CD, the CD spins up, but
the hard disk boot manager is loaded instead (either Windows or
Lilo depending on which of the two laptops I experimented with).

Does the new ISO image fix this problem ?
>How-To-Repeat:
Insert CDROM into Dell Inspiron 3500 and reboot
