When I try to boot Vector Linux 3.0 ISO from CD on an older PC (Pentium Pro 200MHz, 64 M RAM) I get this error message:

ISOLINUX 1.62 2001-04-24 isolinux: Failed to get sector size, assuming 0800 isolinux: Disk error 01, drive FF

This PC will install from CD a version of RedHat (older advanced server ver), and the Vector CD will boot OK on another PC. Any ideas?

Vector Linux uses ISOLINUX and isn't compatible with older BIOS's
RedHat uses SYSLINUX and thats why it works.
I wasn't able to find a work-around.
