for boot screens (as in windows boot logo with flashing bar) install StyleXP 2.0, use that to create a boot screen and then grab the kernel1.exe file it makes, put it on your CD in $OEM$\$$\system32, then you need a batch file to change the kernel:

Basic Code:

bootcfg /copy /D "Windows XP Professional" /ID 1
bootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=kernel1.exe" /A  /ID 2
bootcfg /Timeout 2
bootcfg /Default /ID 2

Advanced Code: (checks for SP or MP kernel and applies accordingly)

FOR /F "tokens=3 delims=  " %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS') DO SET NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=%%A

bootcfg /copy /D "Windows XP Professional" /ID 1
if %NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%==2 goto DUAL
REM ----For Single proc
bootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=OEMKrnl.exe" /A  /ID 2
goto End
:DUAL
REM ----For Multiprocess/Hyperthread proc
bootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=dualKrnl.exe" /A  /ID 2
:End
bootcfg /Timeout 2
bootcfg /Default /ID 2

But my boot DVD with unmatted Windows XP Pro say:

Don"n load I386\Halaacpi.dll !!!

With boot CD work OK!

Maybe you did something wrong while doing your DVD - follow the guide linked to by MCT above. Then test your ISO in vmware - only then burn it to DVD.
