Funny thing - I have a Award 6.00 BIOS so this is not that problem. But I have a Symbios SCSI controller (Dawicontrol DW-2976UW) and a Yamaha CD writer (CRW8824S), too. I cannot boot either since you switched to isolinux. Errors: isolinux: loading spec packet failed, trying to wing it. isolinux: failed to access CD-ROM device; boot failed. I booted from my Toshiba DVD ROM as well as from the writer - same errors... Bye...Frank
