Peter,

Can you please confirm if you are/are not trying to boot the ISO image 
from a USB stick?

If you _are_ you are may be running into the same head-banging situation 
I was having the past week.  It was a combination of flakey motherboard 
BIOS configuration and one kernel commandline parameter ("iommu=soft") 
that needed to be specified to deal with the flakey m/b.

Until I configured the m/b to process Legacy first (before UEFI), 
disabled IOMMU, selected the UEFI instance of the USB stick and 
specified the above kernel parameter by editing the GRUB configuration, 
I could not get _two_ different Gigabyte motherboards to find the USB 
stick as a CDROM. On one of them I had to go into the BIOS to explicitly 
specify "USB Mass Storage" as "CDROM", in addition to the above. Both 
m/b's are using an AMI BIOS.
