desktop-i386-20100916.15.iso fails to boot from cd on dell dimension 2350. Does it work for other folks?
Do you have some more symptoms you can tell us? I did a local compose from around the same time and it worked on a USB drive. So I suspect it's a harware specific problem.
If it might be video related, you can hit tab at the first window to get the boot menu and then try using the basic video boot option.
There was also a recent thread about a problem related to VT-d on a different Dell model which mentioned that disabling iommu at boot made things better.
