I'm trying to install SL on an ASUS M4A78-EM with an AMD X2 250.

I can boot from ModCD and I get the screen showing the icons of disks and the various prompts, including the 'eject, swap and press F5'.  I do that with a Retail OS X SL DVD and the ModCD icon disappears leaving the other disk icons, but nothing else happens.

The SL Retail DVD mounts in Lepoard and I can start the installer but when I get to where it asks me to pick a disk to install to, it tells me "this disk cannot be used to start up your computer".  I didn't expect to be able to upgrade directly from Leopard, but I was just testing that the DVD did mount and was readable.

Any suggestions?  I was going to try the i.B.o.o.t Legacy and M.u.l.t.i.b.e.a.s.t method.

(Sorry for the . . . business but the forum #'ed the names without this.)



EDIT:
I solved this by using a different retail .dmg and burning a new DVD.  SL is now installed and I have a new set of problems, but I'll start a new thread for that.

System:
ASUS m4a78-EM
AMD X2 250
Nvidia 9500 GT 1gb
Onboard Realtek ACL887

Install of 10.5.8 with iDeneb 1.6  went pretty smooth.  The only issue I've found is that every time I open the Sound Preferences, I get a kernel panic.  The audio is also kind of staticy at random intervals but I can live with this if it's the only issue I have.

Here is the configuration I used to install:
