Hi to all that could not boot from the CD in the frist place!
Same thing here (swapping ports did NOT work), but a strange resolution did the trick.
- booted first into my old 10.5.6 installation
- NOW inserted the 10.6 Retail CD
- CD-Rom started, mounting the CD
- THEN reboot
- F12 selecting the USB-Stick
- CD showed up -> install works fine
What is happening here, since the system is powercycled?! What is different too inserting the CD and then powercycling the computer?
