Hi Franklin,

This is somewhat of a long shot, but please try this ISO image instead:

http://downloads.solarspeed.net/Nu-CentOS-BQ-4.7-SOL2.iso

It's Brian's Nu-CentOS-BQ-4.7 ISO image with a few minor changes:

The initrd.img, vmlinuz and stage2.img were taken from the CentOS-4.5 ISO 
image, which makes them slighly newer than what's used on the standard 
Nu-CentOS-BQ-4.7 ISO.

The newer kernel and mini-Linux on the CD used during the 1st and 2nd stages 
of the installation should therefore support a broader scope of more modern 
hardware.

I also attempted to use the initrd.img, vmlinuz and stage2.img from the 
CentOS-5 ISO, but the CentOS team now builds their CDs in a somewhat 
different fashion than before and I have problems decompressing / mounting 
their initrd.img file. 

If this ISO works for you, I take no credit for this, as it's all based on 
Brian's hard work. If the install still fails for you, the blame is all 
mine. :o)
