Thanks John.
I'll check the BIOS on these machines. Unfortunately, i need the DVD
based setup to work because sometimes i have to do this at odd places
where i don't have the network infrastructure to do PXE boots.
What i'm confused about is that i didn't have these problems (well,
mostly) in the the 4.5 based distro (and a 3.x based distro from a while
back...but that was using CDs instead of DVDs). It's only since moving
to 4.6 and 4.7 that i'm seeing this consistently.
Any other ideas?
Thanks again.
