Yes, while booting with dfly 2.2.1 DVD, i realized that this is
harmless as i could proceed with the installation.

However, post installation, on selecting [reboot computer]
option from the installer, a bunch of errors keep scrolling on
the screen endlessly (some stuff related to cd). 

The only way to exit that state is to 'hard reset' the box.


thanks
