Whether the image boots or not is less a function of what processor you have in a machine and more a function of the motherboard and BIOS (maybe disk controller?). For some well-known vendors, it's meaningful to say what model a machine is. Still it's good to see you're having some success...thanks for reporting it. My own testing shows that I can boot the cdboot image on an IBM ThinkPad T21 and a Sony Vaio PCG-Z505HS. I haven't tried it yet on my workstation (Asus P2B motherboard with Adaptec 2940U2W) or my firewall (Intel ZP motherboard with Adaptec 2940), because I can't down either machine at the moment. Bruce.
