I have try all combination's for boot option,i disable all in bios and nothing work (it happens with all this versions).

I know your problem.
I had the same trouble on my old configuration (Sempron 3000+ 1600Mhz / ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA - nForce 405) - I never found out the reason for this, though I found people having the same difficulties on completely different setups... but as you got the same maybe it's CPU related?
Anyway I had found a solution. :) Get "iAtkos v4a 10.5.4 AMD Only", but exactly this release, for the reason that it uses the ToH Kernel and the unmodified Darwin Bootloader (without EFI Emulation) to boot the DVD and it has the option to use those on your installation.
For me this worked and I hope it will do for you, too. But keep in mind that a setup with modified SMBIOS, etc Kernel Extensions & the requierement of manual opcode patching can be a little painfull...
Thank you like brother ;).
I was suspecting that is problem with cpu,maybe because the speed is incorrect but stupid Mb don't have option to change speed in bios :( ,my friend have same processor and he work on 1.8 ghz,but mine work @ 1.6. I will give a try that "distro" :). Thanks one more time. Good luck friend
Thanks to you i have install leopard on my computer,everything works fine except usb (I will search for solution later). Thank you ones again. I have upgraded bios from v-1.4 to v-1.6,i have install iatkos,after that i have install natit x1300 driver and sb600 ata\sata kext so that iatkos can see sata hdd. He works great,(i can play call of duty modern warfare 2) on my machine but only i need to solve problem with usb. I have read on other forum that osx86 works slower on amd and now i confirm that it is i big lie :).

Sorry mate, I have not seen that you added something to your earlier post - just randomly came across here again...
First of all I am glad you made it. :)
Maybe you have solved your problem yourself during the last weeks but I thaught I should add some more info...
everything works fine except usb (I will search for solution later).I am pretty sure to know the reason for this issue, my guess is a version missmatch between the Kernel Binary and your system.kext - Hit up Terminal and enter "uname -v" I guess it should reply you that you are using v 9.2.0 ToH Kernel, then go to /System/Library/Extensions do right-click on system.kext and look up it's version - I guess it's v 9.4.0
If I am right with my guess, there is ofcourse the option to install a 9.2.0 system.kext but there is a better one, as there is some Kernel called Stage XNU which is mainly a ToH Kernel made of 9.4.0 Kernel sources. :)
I uploaded an installer Package for it:

I recommend to back up your current Kernel using "sudo cp /mach_kernel /toh_kernel" before you install it, if the new Kernel won't work for you, you can later still boot it using this Kernel's name on the bootprompt. :)
Hope that will fix it.

I have read on other forum that osx86 works slower on amd and now i confirm that it is i big lie :).If everything is fine for you, you should take care of your current configuration. I do not recommend to do system updates (updates to a newer leopard version), if you are not 100% familiar with the way your system works & have bigger unix skills. If you want to do software updates (for example new iTunes or similiar) you can use the AMD Software Update v0.5 (http://rapidshare.com/files/142237317/ASU-0.5-Beta.zip.html) made by zephyroth, it will automatically patch the updates to not damage your system.
If you have software that requierers a newer OS X version, better fake it by editing /System/Library/Coreservices/SystemVersion.plist
If you still want to do system update - I realy do not recommend for you; back-up the hole partition before update, install Disabler.kext, back-up your complete Extensions folder & get latest AMD Patcher by zeph and patch the hole update - be sure your system won't boot up again, until you reinstall some of your old Extensions, like SMBIOS, etc - that's the curse you have when EFI emulation doesn't work for you... :-|
Good luck with your Hackintosh. ;)
