How can I boot the RedHat Linux Installer on a Mac Pro?

I have an early 2008 mac pro. I want to install redhat 5.8 on it, single boot only.

I have a new harddrive in the machine but I can't seem to boot my redhat 5.8 installer. I've held option on boot, selected the CD, but nothing ever happens (screen stays white/grayish). I've held down C as well, but nothing. I also tried a fedora disk, same thing.

How do I get the redhat installer to boot?
