You need to provide a little more info such as what distro you are using, did you use GUID or MBR when creating your partition, are you using a SATA or IDE HD etc, etc.

You need to make your partition bootable.

now that your drive is already bootable (it doesnt hang at a flashing cursor). Try a fresh install. Personally from experience I would use the chameleon boot loader but unless you patch a dvd you wont be able to install that till you have already got OSX on.

keep up the reading on the FAQ page. Have you already installed meDevil's kext for SATA HD's?-what version of OSx86 are you installing (zeph 10.5.1, 10.5.2, leo4all, etc.)? some of these answers may help get the ball rolling a little faster for you. kernel panics are no fun but they aren't the end of the world.
