Is this a brand new PB? Did you install any third party RAM yourself? If you installed RAM yourself, take it out, and return it because its bad RAM. Is this the CD that came with the computer? Maybe try to find a different CD, the one you are using might be damaged. Does it boot up without the CD, you only complain that booting with the CD doesn't work?

Take out the RAM you added, just to rule it out.

i also had this problem recently after installing 10.3.6 i bought my pb used also.so i only had bootable copies of the 10.2.8 installer disks...and they made the problem worse. i did a clean install from a friends real 10.3.5 cds and everythings fine now. added combined 10.3.6-7 update and no problems.
