I think it should boot regardles...maybe the ISO image is damaged...did
u get and md5 file to check it? I tried loading a PPC Gentoo boot disc
on a g3 imac and it wouldn't work, but YDL was fine. Try and find an md5
file to check it (from the source where u got it) and check to make sure
the disc/ISO is not damaged or corrupted or anything
