Hello, in advance I'd like to thank all users who take the time to read this post and those who reply with any information.  I only have basic skills in regards to working with *nix systems.  The DVD i've been using to try and install OsX is Kalyway 10.5.2.  Here's an outline of what I have, and what I've tried to do.

Hardware
Processor: Intel Core i5-3570k (LGA 1155)
Motherboard: Asus Maximus V Gene
Ram: 16GB Corsair DDR3 Part No. CMZ8GX3M2X1600C7
Graphics: Intel Integrated HD 4000 (I also have tried everything listed with an alternate GeForce 8800 GTS)
Disk Drive: 320GB Toshiba MK3265GSXN

Error Encountered
Kernel panic on installation disk boot.


Troubleshooting Methods Tried
- I have already enabled AHCI for SATA
- I've also tried all combinations of the folowing boot options (kernel followed by boot option) by hitting F8 at the initial Darwin boot screen
   speedstepkernel
   Vanilla
   Cpus=1
   -x
   -s
   -f
   -v

Question that still remains

I have searched this, but haven't found an easily understandable answer about kext files.  Are they similar to the equivilent of a MS dll file?

If I've posted in the wrong section please let me know!

Cheers

Why won't you try installing Windows 95 on Ivy Bridge hardware? You'll get the same results, and for the same reason.

I know it isn't spelled out clearly in certain how-to docs, but the main problem is that your i5-3570k CPU is so new that it isn't supported by older versions of OSx.
When people say "Ivy Bridge" CPU that means the 4-digit model number starts with a 3.  So to make this easier for you, either get a newer OS, or an older CPU.
