You need to provide a little more info such as what distro you are using, did you use GUID or MBR when creating your partition, are you using a SATA or IDE HD etc, etc.

You need to make your partition bootable.

darwin kernel version 9.1.0: Fri nov 16 14:50:43 SCT 2007: made by Toh:xnu-1228.0.2~1/build/obj/release_I136

is okie i found that solution for the above error tks ^^

now that your drive is already bootable (it doesnt hang at a flashing cursor). Try a fresh install. Personally from experience I would use the chameleon boot loader but unless you patch a dvd you wont be able to install that till you have already got OSX on.

keep up the reading on the FAQ page. Have you already installed meDevil's kext for SATA HD's?-what version of OSx86 are you installing (zeph 10.5.1, 10.5.2, leo4all, etc.)? some of these answers may help get the ball rolling a little faster for you. kernel panics are no fun but they aren't the end of the world.

hi i reinstall zeph 10.5.2.. and i did this
sudo -s
fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX --->(X is the number of your HD, if you have only on its 0)
update
f X --->(X is the number of the partition where you installed Leopard)
w
q
reboot
