Nothing worked… Could i get some help please?

Well… the error ocurs when i try to install kalyway 10.5.2
I burned another dvd with iDeneb 10.5.6 … install succesful…but after reboot if entering in -v mode it says: Still waiting for root device
So i played with the jumpers and put the DVD-rom as primary master and my hdd as primary slave as seen in a tutorial…no effect
If i try to start it normal it loads then appears an not allowed sign, like no smoking, in the middle of the screen and stay there like...forever.
Now i'm downloading iATKOS but some help at kalyway or iDeneb would be great.

Be more specific. Which boot cd are you using? I think you need a special one with your Pentium 4.
Well, With iDeneb I think you didn't choose the proper kext for your chipset/sata.
