The CD is burned well because it can boot on another PC, but can not boot on Toshiba Satellite 3000 laptop. The laptop is good because another old live CD 'Gentoo Universal 2006-1' can boot. Reproducible: Always
You'll have to provide a few more details for us to be able to understand why it fails to boot. Where / how does it fail to boot? If it fails during the kernel / modules load, please add the output of lspci from within the old version.
I put the install CD into the cdrom, then reboot the laptop with "Boot From CDROM" as the first boot option, but the laptop just skip the CD and use the hard disk to boot. There are even no messages of the 'ISOLINUX'. It seems the install CD can not be recognized as a bootable CD. It seems caused by the mkisofs or the isolinux of this gentoo install CD. The old version of mkisofs and isolinux of 'Gentoo-liveCD-2006.1' is working well on this laptop. the lspci info : 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82815 815 Chipset Host Bridge and Memory Controller Hub (rev 11) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 Memory at ec000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M] Capabilities: <access denied> 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82815 815 Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 11) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 96 Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=64 Memory behind bridge: e8000000-e8ffffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: f0000000-f7ffffff 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 Bus: primary=00, secondary=02, subordinate=02, sec-latency=64 I/O behind bridge: 00003000-00003fff Memory behind bridge: e9000000-e90fffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: 30000000-35ffffff 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801BAM ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 03) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801BAM IDE U100 (rev 03) (prog-if 80 [Master]) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0 I/O ports at 1800 [size=16] 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #1) (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 5 I/O ports at 1820 [size=32] 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM SMBus (rev 03) Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 10 I/O ports at 1810 [size=16] 00:1f.4 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #2) (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 5 I/O ports at 1840 [size=32] 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio (rev 03) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Unknown device ff00 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10 I/O ports at 1c00 [size=256] I/O ports at 1880 [size=64] 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Modem (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Generic]) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Unknown device 0001 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 10 I/O ports at 2400 [size=256] I/O ports at 2000 [size=128] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 Go] (rev b2) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Unknown device ff00 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 10 Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Capabilities: <access denied> 02:00.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1420 Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Unknown device ff00 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 10 Memory at e9005000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Bus: primary=02, secondary=03, subordinate=06, sec-latency=176 Memory window 0: 30000000-31fff000 (prefetchable) Memory window 1: 36000000-37fff000 I/O window 0: 00003400-000034ff I/O window 1: 00003800-000038ff 16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001 02:00.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1420 Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Unknown device ff00 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 10 Memory at e9006000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Bus: primary=02, secondary=07, subordinate=0a, sec-latency=176 Memory window 0: 32000000-33fff000 (prefetchable) Memory window 1: 38000000-39fff000 I/O window 0: 00003c00-00003cff I/O window 1: 00001400-000014ff 16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001 02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Then this is not related to the kernel in the minimal CD. As you say you can boot the CD on another computer, can you open that CD on the laptop? In case you already installed a system on the laptop try to open the CD. If you don't have a working OS on the laptop, use the old CD and boot with "gentoo docache". That should allow you to eject the old CD when it finishes booting and test whether you can read the new CD or not.
(In reply to comment #3) I have re-installed the Gentoo 2006.1 live CD version. The laptop can mount and open the 'install-x86-minimal-20110215' CD well, even boot another CD. I will try to find the difference of the live-2006 and current install CD on the EL Torito Spec. > (In reply to comment #2) > > I put the install CD into the cdrom, then reboot the laptop with "Boot From > > CDROM" as the first boot option, but the laptop just skip the CD and use the > > hard disk to boot.

This may be related to a problem I experinced. I have a Toshiba Satellite L675D-5702. When I burn the Gentoo install-x86-minimal CD using the Toshiba Disk Creator under Windows 7 Home Premium, I geta disk with an ISO image that passes the md5sum test, but will not boot on any PC that I have (the Toshiba, a Dell-XPS, or an Acer Extensa 4420). If I burn the install-x86-minimal CD on the Dell-XPS under Fedora, the resulting CD boots fine. If I burn the CD on the Extensa 4420 using NTI CD&DVD Maker (gold) under Windows Vista Home Premium I get a disk that also works fine. I guess that my question boils down to: Where did you create the CD?
We need more info. For anyone that has a box that doesn't detect latest minimal-cd, please see if my experimental CD[1] using syslinux-4.0 does boot. This CD has a problem with /lib not being a symlink, but that won't prevent it from being detected and boot.
