Problems using live CD on new machine

[pkaplan1 at comcast.net]

I've had "bad" CDs that work on one machine and not another. It seems to have been a problem with the CD/DVD drive. The solution has always been to re-burn the iso file at lower than maximum speed (8-16x?).

I've just tried the Open Suse 11.0 CD and, using the safe option offered 
on the menu, I got a little more information. The kernel started 
loading and got as far as 

io scheduler cfg registered (default) 

and then it hung. My guess is that the Ubuntu CD is doing the same.
