Install DVD does not boot.

[Soaa]

Helps, I'm trying to install Leo on my new laptop but the install DVD doesn't boot.

 

I've had experience installing and dual-booting Tiger on my old laptop, and even tried a Leo install once, so I do know how it works. Don't blast me for that. ;p

 

However, the install DVD doesn't even boot properly on my new laptop. After passing -v at the Darwin bootloader, I see it loading all the kexts from the disc, then it pops into framebuffer mode, displays a bunch of messages but reboots in a flash. I haven't had time to see the messages.

 

The laptop in question is an Asus M50Sv. Here are the specs:

 

Core 2 Duo T9300

nVidia GeForce 9500M GS 512MB (the bootloader says VESA NVIDIA 14MB, problem?)

3GB RAM @ 667MHz

250GB SATA hard drive (both SATA and IDE emulation don't work)

 

Old laptop's specs. This one worked just fine.

 

Pentium M 1.6GHz (SSE2)

ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 32MB

768MB RAM @ 266MHz

120GB IDE hard drive

 

Any ideas as to why the disc wouldn't even boot?

 

Oops, I guess I should mention that I'm using Kalyway 10.5.1.
