First of all, my computer:

 

Processor

Processor Name: Intel Pentium E5200

Processor Specification: Pentium® Dual Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50Ghz

 

Motherboard

Manufacturer: Gateway

Model: MS-7399

Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce 7100

Southbridge: NVIDIA nForce 630i

 

I pulled this information from CPUID

I'm pretty sure I got all that is necessary here for you to help me.

 

I am trying to install Mac OS X 10.5.4 Leopard on my second internal hard drive.

I am currently using the Mac OS X 10.5.4 Leopard Retail Install Disc and the BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY boot loader disc.

 

The first thing I do is insert the BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY disc and boot from it using the boot manager.

I get to the darwin x86 screen where it asks me to either hit enter or put in -v.

I then replace the disc with the retail install disc for Mac OS X, and I boot from the DVD drive by typing in the hexadecimal address (EF).

It begins to load the disc, and for a second a little message is flashed about something being missing.

It's too fast for me to catch.

 

Then I get an error message reading:

 

EBIOS read error: Controller or device error

Block 16432736 Sectors 64

 

and it shows this message 4 times.

After a bit of struggling in the dvd drive, it says it must pause for 5 seconds, and restart or something, and the apple logo is flashed, but then my computer restarts there after.

 

So my questions are:

1. What am I doing wrong?

2. How can I get this to work?
