 Fixed.
 
 It was a firmware problem.
 
 Here's what to do. Boot the PC, and press F9 at the appropriate moment 
 to run the BIOS configuration program. Under the section "Advanced 
 Options", change "Virtual install disk" from enabled to disabled.
 
 Reboot, and the kernel boots correctly from cD-ROM. (As it turns out I 
 booted off a 4.8 iso, because that is what I had handy. I assume that 
 it would work correctly for 5.1 too).
