Help booting into Leopard disc

[Purkinje]

Hello,

 

I just downloaded and burned Leo4allv3 to a DVD and was very exicited to get Mac OS X Leopard up and running, but I'm having a problem booting into the setup.

 

Laptop Specs:

Gateway MX3701

Processor: Mobile DualCore Intel Pentium M , 1600 MHz per core.

BIOS: Phoenix 83.01

Memory: 1 GB DDR2 266.5

Hard Drive: HITACHI Travelstar HTS421280h9at00 - 74GB, 8MB LVL1 Cache

Video Card: Ati Radeon Xpress 200M, 64 MB Memory, 300 MHz Core speed.

Sound Card: ATI SB450 High Definition Audio

Operating System: Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2

 

Those are the specs on the computer I'm trying to install Leopard onto.

Here what's going wrong:

 

I boot the computer with DVD in the drive. I'm almost positive my BIOS settings are correct, because I can boot into fedora 8 from a DVD perfectly fine. So, BIOS seetings for booting from a DVD *maybe* isn't the problem. I press any key to boot into something called Darwin, and after a few more lines of text, another screen of text starts coming through. This text is somewhat smaller than the first screen's. When the text almost gets to the bottom of the page, it suddenly stops, the hard-drive activity light stops flashing and I get a message about every minute stating:

Still waiting for root device

 

The last two lines of text to appear before the "Still waiting for root device" were:

 

Waiting for boot volume with UUID 69B78657-814A-3FOC-A28D-1A14358A8B98.
Waiting on <dict ID="1">IO Resources </string><key> IO Resource Match </key> <string ID-"2"> boot-uuid-media</string>
</dict>

 

And that's when I get "Still waiting for root device" repeatedly.

 

I have already partitioned my hard drive. I decreased the size of my only partition so there is 6.17 GB of free space. I used GParted. I also have run Chkdsk /f, and defragged the hard drive.

 

Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated!

 

Don't hesitate to ask for more info on anything, I'd be glad to try to get you more information about this problem.

 

Thanks.

EDIT: Ok, I know what the problem is now. I did some searching around, which is what I should've done in the first place, and found out that my problem was because of incompatible hardware. I'm sorry admins and mods, I wasn't thinking when I posted this, and I hope you'll forgive me for this screw up.

 

And could you also just delete this thread, or archive it somewhere or something. It isn't needed anymore...
