When I start my pc with opensuse livecd in, it start as normal, the 
welcome screen and the start meny work, but when it is starting in "live 
mode" it hang after a minute, with a error message on alt+f4, telling me 
that it did not find a cd/dvd, rebooting in 120 sec.

Ubuntu and Mint live cd start as normal, the welcom screen - I press 
start Ubuntu/Mint live, the Ubuntu/Mint start, but it stops in a couple 
of minutes in a text mode, do not remember the text, but there are no 
error messages.

I have no problem to access my sda1 from my working old Opensuse, and 
from my working Puppy Linux.

I can not remeber to have changed anything in my bios, and the only 
thing that I have "installed" is Puppy Linux, but I run it as a live cd, 
and have not installed it.

I have an 5 year old Scalero, with Ide controller and Athlon .
