Cant boot even the disc

[nATEdAWGG930]

ive been trying for about 24 hours to instal osx 10.6.2 on my computer(specs to follow) but everytime i boot my dvd that i downloaded, it either gives me a still waiting for root device error or it gives me a kernel panic(when booted with rd=disk0)...although i was able to boot once with the busratio=20 and cpus=1 flags so i know the disc works but now those flags just give me a still waiting etc

 

I really want to install it so i can make a full 100% switch over to the mac envirnment but i cant afford ANY mac available

 

specs:

 

Processor: AMD Athlon x2 3800+ 2.0ghz

 

hdd: 1TB sata drive and 230 GB sata drive

 

dvd drive: not sure, i think its ide

 

vid card: ATI Diamond radeon HD 4670 1GB ddr3

 

sound card: ac'97

 

keyboard: Logitech G15

 

mouse: Microsoft wireless notebook mouse 3000 (i have a desktop btw just my parents went the cheaper way for a mouse)

 

Distro.: Hazard Snow Leopard 10.6.2

Dude, WHY haven't you written the MOTHERBOARD also ??? Is that hard? Is the FIRST on the list, to be able to find the easiest way and most convenient for you, to do a proper install. If you already had a little luck booting with busratio=20 cpus=1, try disabling one core in bios and boot again with -v busratio=20, and see if it works.
