12/2 G5 install disks -- kernel panic on boot

[Robert Sanders]

Ian,
   Are you installing with 'install-safe'?  I've never tried just 
'install'.  I've also done
the 'install-safe mediacheck' just to check to see if the ISO's 
downloaded correctly.
BTW, I used safari on the same mac under 10.3 to do the downloading.
