1. It may not be possible to replicate from 2005 to 2012 (off hand I don't know this) you may need to have the 2005 server at SP4?2. The size of the publication articles or possibly only one of them could be larger than 2GB - this can cause issues.
If so, you may have to perform a backup of publication database(s) then restore on subscriber server, then "reinitialize without snapshot".
Looking at the error text it may be no 1.
Good luck

1) tested already between a 2005 SP4 install and the 2012 BI edition. It can be done.
2) Even doing a single table with 2 records in it isn't working. So size isn't the issue.
Interesting to note that it appears that the log reader is working (at least the logs say it is as I haven't setup the subscription since there isn't a snapshot to base it off of
)
