Ok everyone hold on a second....I don't think I'm getting my problem across correctly...

the error i'm getting is "Waiting for boot volume with UUID...." not "still waiting for root device"

Also, I can't get chameleon set up on the disk, because the install DVD won't even load so I can install OSX...I never even get to the point where I reboot into OSX for the first time, because all 3 distro's I've tried using (iPC, XxX, iDeneb) have failed to install OSX because they get stuck at that error, listed above.
