Ebios read error trying to boot

[rebecca!]

I burned retail dmg on my macbook using iDVD. It burned and verification passed.

 

I burned boot132 to a DVD and after boot, I swap the DVD with retail and hit enter. Here's what happens..

 

It gives me a few Ebios errors, and then goes to the Apple loading screen (gray BG, spinning loading icon). This takes awhile but I figure it's a 7 gig file.. so that's ok. Then it shows the OS X background and a spinning beachball, and I can move the mouse around.

 

But it just hangs here. Beachball keeps spinning but there's no disk activity and after about 15 mins of waiting I figure it's not gonna work. If I wait long enough I think I hear the HD stop spinning, but I don't think that's relevant.

 

 

At first I thought OK, Ebios error.. just reburn it on another OS using slowest speed.. but the DVD boots fine on my macbook. It doesn't take long to boot, and I make it to the installer (and probably beyond, I haven't tried).

 

I'm on EP45-DS3L (F9) and I burned boot132 dmg with NO kexts or anything. Just burned the vanilla iso.. my video card is 8600 GT, and cpu is quad 6600..

 

please help!
