This *should* have worked and would have worked if not for a bug I had to workaround in 4.9 on that CDROM. The CDROM is the only device on the bus, and if it were set to master, I kept getting ata1-master resetting ad infinitum; the jumper, once removed from the back of the CDROM drive, allowed 4.9 to work like a charm. I remembered this after downloading and burning the bootonly ISO and having that fail with the same error... Once I put the jumper back in to set the device to "master", the 5.2.1 CD booted straight to sysinstall. Something for people to keep in mind... :-) -Bart
