Looks like either BIOS problem or ide bus scan problem on power up.

You have 2 ide controllers.  The DVD is on ide1 and is secondary on the
string.  One can't tell from this information so you will have to check to
see if you are using "Cable Select" or if the DVD is jumpered to be
secondary.  In any case I would suggest you make it primary and see if that
helps.
