I had a similar problem, and the way I fixed it was I re-downloaded the 
ISO, so it may of just been bad media for me.
With the Technet/MSDN ISO and the official OEM DVD I was getting BSOD 
just like you, after it loaded files, prior to GUI with STOP message 
"bad_system_config_info".
However I downloaded the evaluation ISO at 
http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/5/E/75EC4E54-5B02-42D6-8879-D8D3A25FBEF7/7601.17514.101119-1850_x64fre_server_eval_en-us-GRMSXEVAL_EN_DVD.iso 
and it worked fine, and activated with my OEM key.
YMMV HTH
