I had something like this happen on an install a couple of weeks ago. I set the boot order with Cd before HDD and it would completely ignore the CD and just boot from the Hard Disk. I had just used that CD to install another machine so I didn't even think the CD might be bad. But, then a couple of days later I tried it in a machine I was sure of and the same thing happened. So, I burned another copy on a different machine and it worked just fine on both. The one that was ignoring the Cd and booting from the HDD, then booted fine From the newly burned CD. So, I would suggest it might be possible that you have some sort of marginal burn on the CD and it will work on some machines and not others.
