You might try hitting F1, and entering the option noacpi.
Or you could enter 'rescue' and see if the rescue system boots up.
When I asked if you downloaded the right install disk, I was referring to the architecture and whether you downloaded the single or mp versions. The suffix of the disks should be '.i586.iso'. I downloaded the files from an ftp site and burned a dvd, so I didn't install from an install disk.
