DFI bloodiron P35-T2RL (should be well compatible according to several sites)

- I have a retail DVD of 1.5.6
- I use Boot-132 (the original, which should work with Bloodiron)
- Boots from DVD, but stops at wallpaper with a spinning beach ball cursor (can still move cursor)


I've been trying/searching for over 8 hours today and I just can't get it to work.
Tried different bios settings, boot parameters, different boot loaders, etc, but still that spinning beach ball cursor.
The verbose option didn't help.

I noticed by searching with Google that more people in the past had this issue, but nobody ever came up with a solution.

Now if I just knew where to look... that would already help me a lot!
