iPC 10.5.6 hangs before install

Hello,
I have an Asus R1F Tablet Notebook and wanted to try out the newer iPC Distro. Unfortunately upon choosing to boot from DVD it runs through all the motions, gets past the silver apple screen with the spinning circle and then the screen turns light blue, the dvd and harddrive keep working for a while only to stop after a couple of minutes.
If I press buttons on the keyboard (enter f.e.) it will show some activity, but the screen doesn't change. I also don't have a mouse pointer.

I have gotten an iDeneb and an old Leo4all distro to install without any problems previously (vanilla kernel if I recall correctly), so I'm not sure where the problem is. Verbose mode also doesn't help.

I have an Intel Core2Duo t7200 on an Intel 945 Chipset, so nothing too exotic.

Thank you for any advice.
