I've also seen it with Mac OS X Server where the install DVD was set to only install on a particular type of XServe (for example, I was only able to install from the 10.5.6 Server install DVD that came with the XServe (Early 2009) onto other XServes of the same model type. I wasn't able to use the DVD to install 10.5.6 on earlier Intel XServes because that same message would come up.
However, if this is the same DVD that came with the Mini, I'm not sure where the problem is. What happens when you try to install onto an external Firewire drive?
Thanks,
Rich
