Yeah, that's the screen I get to your right monitor. But here's how I did it with my Sata drives now :

 

1) - I went into BIOS and configured the S.M.A.R.T. part you said, but I don't know what else to enable / disable from this part :

2) - I went into Boot Settings Priority and set it to these specs :

3) - I saved and exited, BIOS rebooted computer, and I inserted the disc. Then from there, it goes in this order :

4) - After that screen, I pressed F8 for the advanced settings and typed in -v.

5) - Once I typed -v, it goes through this little act, quick and easy:

6) - Then Darwin went through some of this, 4 seconds later, I get to the end which shows :

This was all set on my Sata drives. I looked at the hard drive and the box, it said Sata doesn't require Master or Slave. And my optical drive doesn't even have jumpers on it. Only my IDE's have jumpers.

If doesent start (again) with apple logo, change your hardware setings, drive position(slave or master, ide or sata, jumper position, whatever...) and try again.

I think I have the same problem as you. My computer will show the gray apple screen but than the small circle comes up, ive tried to replace the jumper of my hdd (i have only one) to every position. Noting works

The only difference is that ive tried to install 10.4.6

Hope there is a solution for this !!!
