Those are two pictures of the initial boot process.
Where's the kernel panic? If it's the standard "NVDresman" panic - see the Wiki for "known issues" - otherwise post a photo of the actual kernel panic...

(Looking at your hardware, I tend to doubt you'll be sucessful with the standard install process - Although you haven't listed it, your laptop probably uses a newish AMD/ATi chipset (such as the SB600 southbridge) which has been problematic with SATA drives. The 10.5.1 install doesn't support all PC hardware (remember, "real" Macs use a very limited hardware set (none of which is for AMD processors)). You're going to be doing a LOT of research and probably putting in a little more effort than usual to get it up and running on your hardware...)

Here are 2 links of the issue, it is a kernel panic because it just freezes there, after about 20 seconds it just freezes there, all the day..... here are 2 more images of the issue. Hope these images help.

Nope, not really. What I said above (about 10.5.1 and your specific hardware) is apparently true... I have a Compaq V2000 series laptop (ATi radeon xpress 200, probably the SB400 chipset) and can get 10.5.1 partially running - but only by installing first to an external HD using another computer, then connecting the external HD to the laptop and booting from it. After MUCH effort (trying to install various .kexts (drivers)) I can get it into the OS X desktop. Even then, much of my laptop hardware is still NOT supported. Out of the box my disk drives aren't working properly and I don't think the AMD/ATi chipset is properly supported. Mine doesn't "loop" or stall like yours. It reaches a point where it just can't read from the optical drive and says "still waiting for root device" endlessly... I've been successful on 3 of the 8 computers I've tried to install Zephyroth on. My laptop was the biggest failure. OS X just doesn't work on every type of hardware.

So: "You're going to be doing a LOT of research and probably putting in a little more effort than usual to get it up and running on your hardware..."
