Hi,
>It's a aha-2940u2w. I just grabbed another one this morning off ebay.
I would have recommended a 29160. The price should be similar and it's
got twice the bandwidth. Also, it's get a handy split bus feature, so you
can put slow devices on one bus without slowing down the LVD devices on
the other bus.

Lot's of possible bad boys.

Lot's of possibilities. It might not be waiting long enough for the CD to
spin up.

That should make no difference. The CD boot stuff is kind of special.
The BIOS read the first sector of the CD and checks for a valid boot
block. This read can fail for any number of reasons. Everything from
drive issues to CD media issues.
