Title:
  Intrepid (and Hardy) install CD's fail to boot on Thinkpad

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I downloaded the 7th October daily build ISO of Intrepid, checked the
  md5sum, burned it to disk, and tried to boot. I then got the following
  error:

  ISOLINUX 3.63 Debian-2008-07-15 isolinux:
  Cannot boot from this CD. Please try a BIOS update.

  So, I went back to a Hardy install CD, hoping to network-upgrade.  And
  I got exactly the same thing (with a different date on the message,
  obviously).  In the end I had to go back to a Gutsy install CD to get
  a CD that was bootable.  This is on a Thinkpad T60P (model 2007-AE7)
  with a Matsushita UJ-842 multi-format DVD writer. The Thinkpad is
  running the latest available BIOS (v 2.22, dated April 2008).

  What additional information do you need me to provide to help to debug
  this?
