I try and boot the disk, and it goes through the bios, and I press -s and it boots like 5 or six lines of code, and then I press -x to boot into safge mode, and it reboots right before it boots the GUI....there is a youtube video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csglOGDNcg4 that I made, and i already confirmed that my graphics card IS capable of running this, because one of the known good configurations on the OSX86 wiki had the Matrox 400 and mine is the 450 which is the exact same but with 2 monitors....

 

please help, as this will fix a lot of issues....

 

 

Also...I am using the Kalyway 10.5.2 AMD Intel SSE2 and SSE3 pack, and I have a P4 processor with SSE2 support (checked with cpu-z)

 

 

I am wondering if maybe I have to add a driver to the DVD, as I wrote it to a DVD, but never added anything using the add for DVD boot...can someone walk me though that if that is my problem, because all of that is very confusing to me...other than that, I have guides up the buthole, and so I only need help getting the GUI started...THANKS

Get a different install disk. I had this problem with an older system. I had to use an OSX86 10.4.11 install disk to get OS 10 installed on it. The reboot is caused by a kernel panic for not having an sse3 compliant CPU. The 10.5.x Leopard install disks do not like older hardware. I had the best luck with a newer PC and a newer laptop. Tiger Direct has a nice Emachine "T3640" for $179.00. I bought one and it runs Leopard great! Cheapest and Fastest Mac I have ever owned.
