Can you try http://dev.gentoo.org/~wolf31o2/releng/gentoo-2004.2-test2.iso and see if that still has the same problem?

did you check the md5sum on the image that you were using? is the burn ok?
Comment 4 Richard Li 2004-06-14 08:22:58 UTC 
Yes. Actually, the disc boots up in other computers, but fails on computer with these settings.
Comment 5 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-15 05:07:38 UTC 
Do other distributions boot on this same machine?
Comment 6 Richard Li 2004-06-21 23:55:03 UTC 
Yes, Redhat boots on this computer with no problem.
Comment 7 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-22 05:45:36 UTC 
I meant other than Red Hat.  I saw that it worked with Red Hat in the initial post.  I am not positive, but I believe that Red Hat is using grub now to boot their CD, so it would not work the same.
Comment 8 Richard Li 2004-07-09 22:50:18 UTC 
There's no more problem after I upgraded my BIOS. In case you want to know, both SUSE and Debian fails to boot before upgraded BIOS, and gave similar message.
