It might be possible to disable the logo and see a bit more info. It'd be

in the BIOS options somewhere -- might be called "Quiet Boot"? That could

help in debugging the problem.



Sometimes, IIRC, the BIOS will still require you to, "press any key to boot

from CD" -- even when the CDROM drive is first in the boot order. Perhaps

the logo is obscuring that message.
