Mac osX on CQ50 series

I have a CQ70 laptop, which is closely the same and the only osX86's DVD which is ok is the iPC 10.5.6 final ( PPF5 ) burned on a DVD-R ( never an DVD-RW, it won't work )
BOot in "verbose mode" : press F8 at the Darwin's prompt when the DVD is booting and type -v then ENTER.

it should work,
Nice day;)
