The solution :
If you have a machine with CPUs faster than 419MHz, you can't boot from
the 2.5.1 or 2.6 CDROM media.
Instead, your machine comes with an Environmental Operating CD. Boot
from that, and then you have the option of installing 2.5.1 or 2.6.
When you select 2.6, you'll be able to insert the 2.6 CDROM and
continue.
