Yes, really when IE1394 is disabled in bios problem is gone. Thanks! May be

It doesn't print any message and after that short time BIOS try next

Thanks. That makes it sound like the BIOS doesn't think the CD is
bootable but I'm not sure why. We'll need to try and collect more
information from other sources to see if we can narrow it down (e.g.
whether it happens on other vendors' motherboards or just Gigabyte,
whether there are other combinations of SATA versus non-SATA optical
drives that cause problems, etc).
Just to collect as much information about this specific case as I can...
Are you using CD media or DVD media? Is there a chance you could try
the other type of media (e.g. if you're using CD media could you give
DVD media a quick try?) just to eliminate that as one of the variables?

First a question just to verify - is this i386 or amd64? I'm guessing
i386.
One more thing to try if you don't mind. Could you try booting one of
the other bootable iso images (either bootonly or livefs), and if that
succeeds when it reaches the first screen of sysinstall swap in disc1
before proceeding with a normal install.
Thanks. Appreciate any testing you can do.

I will try this and boot from dvd too.
I've already tested at my home and it boots sucessful. This media fails
on test pc.

Thanks, greatly appreciate all the testing.
As part of looking into this I went looking for another Gigabyte
motherboard and through the past 2 days was able to test the same set of
things with the same results. So far I haven't been able to reproduce
this on anything but Gigabyte. This is such a bizarre problem I really
needed someone else to confirm so thank you very much. Since there is a
workaround I don't think I'll hold the release for this problem but we
will need to mention this in the Errata (and possibly the announcement
itself).

I have a number of different test PCs available. 7.2-RC2 Live FS
boots just fine on all. Disk 1 is not recognized as bootable on any
of them. I can provide any specs that might help. They are all quite
different. Mostly older units. Newest is probably about 5 years old.
