This might be of some help. Try to start the install by typing "linux mem=128m" or "linux mem=64m" This worked for me.
Another person with the same problem wrote to say he turned off everything in the bios and started turning them back on until it failed. It failed with power management turned on and loaded with power management off. I would try the "linux mem=64m" first.
