Default Proliant 2500 not booting from SmartStart 5.50 CD

Did you burn this to a CDR? I've found that the older CD ROM drives

For some reason that SmartStart CD (not sure if the newer ones have
the same issue or not, but this does appear to be the case for the
v5.5 version) **MUST** be burned at the SLOWEST possible speed on
your cd burner or it will NOT work.. I and countless others have
found this out by complete trial and error -- per LC's comments..

I suspect if you try the above technique, the problem will go away!
