Can't Boot JaS 10.4.6 Install

[x0nt]

Hi, I'm trying to install OSX on my machine but the installer runs into a panic while initialising.

 

Hardware:

CPU: P4 1.7GHz

Mobo: Asus P4B-MX (chipset: Intel 845) link

Ram: 512mb (2 X 256mb) PC133 SDRAM

HD: 20gb Seagate on Primary PATA IDE Channel.

Video: Asus v9250 Magic/T (Ati 9250 chipset)

 

When the install hits the bootloader this is the only option I have:

 

hd(31,1) Mac OS X Install Disc x86

(startup volume)

 

Once I go through the debug mode, there is a screen where it loads a couple of things, then I get this screen and all the following text. Exactly as below:

 

hi mem traps at 0xffe00000

Kernal Version:

Darwin Kernal Version 8.4.1: Tue Jan 3 18:23:53 PST 2006; root:xnu-792.7.90.obj~1/RELEASE_I386

 

I'm not sure what I can do from here.

I went into the bios and disabled every device not necessary: audio, lan, serial ports, parallel port.

I tried fiddling with other bios settings, but nothing made any difference.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks, John

It turns out I had some faulty memory sticks, currently half way through install process.
