Can someone walk me through step by step on how to load OS X 10.5.x on my Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L (F08 BIOS) system using Retail DVD?

 

I have run Kalyway, iDeneb, and iPC with good success, but I would prefer not to have to run third-party kernels, combo updates, etc.

 

I have tried these Boot-132 disks:

Also, the Original Boot-132 (generic.iso) I found on a post.

 

The Boot-132 disks boot fine to the boot prompt. I pressed a command (not -v but something else...can't remember) and then when I put my Retail DVD (DL copy), the machine acts like it is going to boot into the OS install and just sits there on the grey Apple screen.

 

I know my drives are OS X compatible and the BIOS settings have worked fine on third-party OS X distros. Any ideas? (please don't say "load up boot-132 DVD, then install OS X"...I need specifics please)
