Installation DVD does not boot! iDeneb 1.5 10.5.7

[bikalpa paudel]

Hey guys. I have an old PC that is getting lesser and lesser use everyday. So I thought I could repurpose it by installing Mac OS X on it.

 

I know the performance wont be great but heck this is not my primary machine.

 

System Specifications

Monitor: AOC F22 @ 1920x1080

I have managed to get hold of iDeneb 1.5 10.5.7 in the form of a 4.3 GB disc image (iso). The file passed MD5 checksum test.

 

I have a very very pathetic Internet connection.  I wont be able to get hold of any other Distro. I wont be able to download such large files. I have to get this to work!  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I wrote the file on a Rewriteable DVD+RW. And I tried booting it. 

 

On the normal trying, I got this. 

 

 

 

I restarted and this time I pressed F8 and went to advanced. There I sought help and then came to know about the verbose mode, safe mode and single user mode. 

 

 

I tried boot: -v -x -F all, but I was stuck on this error. 

 

Still waiting for root device.. Still waiting for root device.. 

 

It has something to do with my PATA controller I guess. Here is the screenshot. 

 

 

And the following is the full screen-shot where things have halted, just before "Sill Waiting for Root device" appeared :

 

 

I hope I have detailed enough for you guys to come up with a hint? I have been busting my butt over it trying to find a solution. And that I cannot download another distro makes things worse.  

 

Please help.
