Doesn't boot on Compaq Presario cq41-209tx

I tried out SL in vmware on my laptop and it works great, but it was a little slow. So I then tried to install SL using the Hazard Snow Leopard 10.6.1-10.6.2 DVD onto a separate partition. The installation went smoothly (had to type busratio=16 before DVD would boot), but when I tried to boot it after the install, all I see is a flashing Apple bootscreen and then my laptop restarts. I've tried using -x, -v, -f, and busratio=16 but none of them work.. :rolleyes: I also reinstalled it a couple of times with different options....

 

So what could be the problem?

 

Here are my specs:

 

CPU: 2.13 GHz Intel Core i3-330M processor

Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4350 Graphics M93-S3 LP

 

Thanks in advance.

What custom kernel did you select when installing? It's probable that the Hazard DVD uses a custom kernel but installs the vanilla kernel by default, and the current vanilla kernel is not supported by your CPU.

Thanks for replying.

 

And oh my CPU isn't supported by the default kernel? I couldn't find any appropriate kernels to install during the Installation (they looked like they were for Intel Atom/AMD). So is there another distro I should use or something?
