Try putting the install CD back in and boot again. Did the install go well? in other words did it take around an hour to install or more or less?

I think it took about half an hour on the installation. If theres more than one restart, I only have 1 restart. Theres no problem during installation or anything....

I try to put the cd again if it boots cd it will just to go install mac again.
not booting the cd but while cd just have the same problem as without the cd in it

edit: maybe Id show step how I install it:

I use a 20gb hd, clean it with partition to unallocated space.
boot mac osx
use disc utility and format hard drive with journalysed
install mac osx

I can't help much but one thing is for sure: OSX doesn't need any restart when it install intself (yeah I know Windows often needs that but not OSX).
