The actual error is:

Invalid memory access at %SRR0: 00000000.020c37dc  %SRR1: 10000000.00083030

This is really shortly after jumping into __start() @ 020x0000. 

I agree with John, though. We need to know which CD ISO you're using so
we know which version of grub and kernel is being used. A screenshot of
the grub menu would help, too.
