Newer input:

Tried the CD in another system to see if the iso wasn't crippled, booted
fine..
Could see one of the last things the loader pointed out before loading stuff
was detecting the cdrom drive, which I don't see in the first system, so I'm
pretty sure that's the problem.
But how to fix it? Any input would be appreciated, sorry for the 3 posts..
