Ah, I'd assumed it got as far as starting the kernel and then the
kernel crashed.  In this case I think it has failed reading the
CD.  Can you read the CD on some other system to check it burned
ok?  Are you confident that the CD drive is P5 and is working?

An alternative is to boot the relevant lifimage over the network,
and then either install from the network or from the CD (if the
net booted kernel sees the CD).  See the REAME on the CD for details.
