HP TX2500 Leopard install error diagnosis

[benbern125]

nstall trouble HP TX 2500 10.5.5 Please help! Please help I've tried 3 different distros(iDeneb 10.5.4, iDeneb 10.5.5, and Kalyway with chameleon patch) all to end up with the same dreadful error

I checked the MD5 of the isos and verified the burn after at 2X speed (lowest it would go)

I've tried every flag imaginable (-x -v -s -f -F platform=ACPI/X86PC cpus=1 rd=disk0s2 ect.)

 

I've seen other people with tx2500s that have had success so I know it's not impossible, but no one that I know of has had a fix to this problem!

 

Note: I can't even get to the install screen - it hangs even before the grey screen with sprinning "pinwheel"

 

PC info:

HP TX2500

processor:AMD Turion X2 70 (2.0Ghz)

chipset: AMD 780

3GB RAM

250GB Hard Drive

 

Help is Appreciated!!!
