@Justic   Thanks for the post.

I had this issue trying to boot a Kubuntu 11.10 LiveCD on an old FlexATX
computer which only has one IDE interface.   Changing the jumpers on the
CD to master and the hard drive to slave did resolve the issue.   Oh
look, there's Kubuntu now!

I also tried a bunch of other permutations of jumpers and cables, trying
to keep the hard drive as master.   Somewhere I read that you don't want
a hard drive running with an optical on an IDE.  But I know I've done it
before without apparent issue.  Maybe that was with the 40 pin cables.
I finally gave up on that though.  I guess I have to get a USB optical
drive if I want my hard drive as master.

Thanks all.

Be real, be sober.
