@popooli1i think you burned your DVD in windows with nero or somthing like that.if you do it not going to work.try to burn the image in another mac then option 2 : you added wrong version of mach_kernel file to your cd .like snow leopard one to leopard or reverse

Thank you for the advise. I did finally get some help on other forums & no one ever mentioned that burning with Nero would be an issue. Yes, fast burning was not recommend & that is why by burns were all at 8x.

Anyhow, I tried every possbile distro of OSx out there & that includes vanilla versions. Still, no dough. The errors that resulted varied but the outcome was the same.

It finally boiled down to the fact that my laptops SATA controller driver is not supported.
