I've tried to install CentOS 5.2 on Core 2 Duo T5750 2.0Ghz laptop but what happens is every thing hangs up when anconda system installer starts. So I tried PCLinuxOS in it's text-based installer it detects the CPU core 1 and when it try to detected the other one system gets stuck. I tried these same two distro's on another PC that have a AMD X2 CPU on this PC I didn't had that problem everything went smoothly.
Try installing with "linux acpi=off" (as the kernel command line for syslinux).
The kernel which gets installed should be able to handle the system after installation, the installer kernel sometimes has a few problems.
Also the following option might be necessary: pci=nommconf
That is, for example linux acpi=off pci=nommconf
