My experience also, in fact I was unable to boot rescue off the CD
either. I have no resolution to the problem of hanging while loading
the boot image off the CD, but I do have a workaround.
Use the boot CD, but at the initial prompt, enter "linux askmethod
acpi=on" (for rescue, "linux askmethod rescue acpi=on"). When prompted
for the boot method, choose one of the methods other than CD. These
will require advance setup to place the contents of all the installation
CDs in the place you indicate for booting, e.g. on disk if loading from
disk, or as an NFS share, if you choose that method. Directions for
setting these up are in the README file on the first CD.
I had great success using the NFS method.
