I'm having the same problem. Try using verbose mode (-v after f8) and see if you can see what the problem is. It's going too fast for me to tell. I don't know what the problem is but I can't even get into the installer. All versions of 10.4 seemed to work fine for me. I just can't install Leopard.

i downloaded and burned the iATKOS image, but whenever I boot with it, all I get is a reboot. I think i need a different kernel?

What do you see the reboot? does the darwin boot loader come up? does it show it passing off to the os? Do you get to the screen that just has the apple logo and the spinning progress indicator?

if you dont see the bootloader it means there is a problem with the boot loader. if it pops up with an error with b0= or something like that in the text its an EFI error. If all that goes well but you don't see the gray screen it is most likely a kernel issue.

hit F8 right after your PC finishes posting and hold it down. Once the darwin bootloader prompt comes up type "-v" then the enter key to see all of the output. See if you can figure out exactly what is causing it and at what point OS X panics or resets.

it goes into the bootloader, and i can type boot flags, but thats where it reboots. it doesnt actually pass to the os. just loads up the kernel and decides it doesn't like whatever is going on and reboots.
