The LiveCD with KDE 4.0 boots well on two other PCs, both 32 bit and 
somewhat older, but the same CD does not boot on my PC. It doesn't even 
recognize the CD in the DVD drive and show GRUB but just boots from 
hdd.  Any other CDs for installation, eg OpenSUSE 10.3 32bit or OpenSUSE 
10.3 AMD64 have no problems to boot on this PC.
Here is some info from 'hwinfo --all' with OpenSUSE 10.3-AMD64, as far 
as the devices are needed to boot from CD:

I cannot install the ISO on a virtual system due to lack of hard disk 
space :-((
I also wanted to file a bug but never received a confirmation mail from 
Novell bugzilla.
Is there a way to boot from the LiveCD or will there be a more 
compatible one in near future?

Cheers,
Detlef
