Hi, I forgot to include the model number of the CD-RW that syslinux kept hanging on intermittently. TDK CDRW121032 The symptoms were it would boot to the syslinux screen asking for boot options. After hitting enter, it was hit or miss whether it was able to load the kernel and related initrd image before it froze. After it got past that point, it would work fine. Netboot seemed to work better than full kernels and initrds.
