Try turning off DMA while it is booting but _before_ it attempts to
mount the CD:
1) Switch to a console by pressing Esc and then Alt-F3.
2) Type 'hdparm -d0 /dev/hdc'
This workaround allowed me to boot installation CDs in the absense of
a fix to the problem (see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6710 )
