The cd has a boot loader (isolinux) that gives you the first messages that allow you to choose text, graphical, expert, etc. Once you choose that the 2.4 kernel loads and you get into the installer routines. Sounds like your system is having a problem with the 2.4 kernel that's trying to load. there are kernel options that can be passed to work around some of these issues, but i don't know what to recommend.
