Setup freezes

[igul222]

i've been a long time visitor of this site, finally got a reason to register...

 

i can't install from the iso i just got! I get a grey screen with an apple logo and a spinning whell, and then i get a blue screen with a little spinning wheel with three different colors on it in the upper left corner! Setup freezes there.

 

i have tried every possible combination of -v and -x, they all result in the same error, or "You must restart your computer. Please hold down the power button, or press the restart button of your computer."

 

When I tried -v alone, I get a message before the blue screen with annoying spinning circle that goes something like this:

 

Loading "[directory names i can't remember]" to RAM disk:

 

***some technical info, no errors***

 

WARNING: Last 256 Sectors of cylinder are blank (or something along those lines...)

 

 

pls, HELP!!!
