It would be better to use the final version of 2006, rather than a release
candidate (RC2).
What do you mean by "wont let me boot"?
Are you having trouble booting off the install CD? Have you adjusted
settings in BIOS?

Hello,
I would try to boot with a Knoppix livecd and see how the booting process
starts, then probably, like with Suse on some systems, boot with the noacpi
option.
Hope it helps
