Hi all,

I'm having problems getting my 1998 vintage IBM Aptiva to boot from some particular CDs, but not others.

If I try to boot from the Ubuntu install or live CDs, the PC ignores them and tries the other devices in the boot sequence.

The PC will boot other CDs, such as the Knoppix live CD.

My (more recent) laptop will boot from the Ubuntu CDs just fine.

My first thought was to get the BIOS up to date but IBM/Lenovo no longer has my model on their download page.

Any suggestions for other things to try ?

Simon....
