@NikezSherryI had also the same problem.. i typed "busratio=20 cpus=1 fsb=133 config= live.plist" and it showed me the thing which happend to you.. so i guess you can try some booting options like this, you have to just click F8 while the Timer runs in Darwin OSx86 Boot -v busratio=20 cpus=1 -v -x -v -f -v -f -s busratio=20 cpus=1 fsb=133 -v -f…

-v
busratio=20 cpus=1 -v
-x -v
-f -v
-f
-s
busratio=20 cpus=1 fsb=133 -v -f

You can try some of these.. and show the result here.. i will surely give some help upon this.

Field Note #2 @NikezSherry 2009-10-06

okay.. well try this

platform=X86PC -v -f
platform=ACPI -v

or else check in bios if you have checked whether you have put AHCI not Native IDE in Sata Type.
sometimes it happens due to incompatibility of the hardware.. Well if this doesn't work, you can use some other DVD like "iPC OSx86 10.5.6 PPF5 Final" or "Leo4all 10.5.2" these are also great working Distro's..
