Anchoring through plaster walls?

I am trying to anchor a 2 X 4 to hollow plaster walls. Well, I'm not sure it is plaster but it is definitely not sheetrock. I've tried hollow plastic anchors and Walldogs, but the anchors just grind through the wall material and break off. The wall has this sandy brittle composition that breaks apart when stressed. Is there something that might do the trick??
