When I had this same problem, I found that my CD burn was bad.  It 
looked okay on the surface of things and mounted fine, but had troubles 
booting.  Burning my ISO images right after rebooting solved the 
problem.  I went a little too cheap on my mother board, and get 
occasional strange problems with the IDE controller, especially when 
dealing with the CDR drive.
