Thanks for your immediate response.

Since I can now boot from the CDROM without the HDD, and the MODE_SENSE_BIG thingy are not harmful
or anything, I am inclined to ignore them as you have suggested.

Thank you once again.

Best regards
Joseph

Nothing, really.  If they don't cause problems, I'd just ignore them.

Sounds like another BIOS quirk, as is the first problem most likely.
Check for a BIOS update.  If that doesn't work, this question is
probably better suited to some support forum focused towards your
particular hardware, if such exists (check vendor sites for your
hardware).  Or if you post specifics (make, model, etc.) of your
hardware configuration, maybe somebody here knows something about that
particular machine.
