Panther install... again

Hello everybody! Nice to be here!
I looked through some topics on the same matter, but they aren't quite like mine, so I started another one.
I installed Jaguar on my G4 AGP Graphics perfectly fine, however, I cannot do anything with Panther. That is, I cannot start installation from CD1 of Full Retail Version. Firmware is up to date, according to Support (4.2.8). While running Jaguar, inserted CD1 and launched Install Mac OS X program from it, computer restarts, however, after grey screen with darker apple on it, machine goes in the blue screen (fullscreen) and stays there with little black stripes wheel. After some time screen goes to power save mode, wakes up to the same state with any key on the keyboard, but no reaction to mouse. Nothing else has been happening.
I would appreciate any suggestions on this matter.
Thank you!
