Hey guys,

so I read through a ton of stuff on this forum and could not locate anything that could help me.. the specs to my pc are below:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 (I have Windows 7 32 bit installed and 32 Mac OS X Leopard) dual core 2.6GHz
4GB Ram
radeon x1300/x1550 graphics card
wireless keyboard and mouse (Logitech)
HD Audio

When I run the install CD (Mac OS X Leopard - v10.5.6 PPF5), everything works great, then it displays the nice green check saying everything was installed correctly. I reboot my PC, choose to run from D: drive (I have Windows 7 installed on C:, clean second drive D: contains install for Mac OS X), it just keeps waiting... so I tried using the "-v" and it does the same thing... so I tried using "-v -f" and displays "STILL WAITING FOR DEVICE"... I'm thinking it has something to do with my hard drives... they consist of:
C: - 320 GB SCSI internal drive (Windows 7)
D: - 250 GB SCSI internal drive (Mac OS X)
F: - 1.5 TB USB external drive (Backup, all docs, music stuff like that is stored there)

I have attached two images:

normal_boot.jpg - image of my screen when Mac OS X loads (or at least tries to load)

advanced_boot.jpg - image of my screen showing the error I receive when I used "-v" and "-v -f" options

The following image displays the results when I try to use the following commands:
"-v", _v -f", "-x -v", "-v voodoo", _v stageXNU"... what am I missing, what do I need to install???

Any ideas, my display driver works correctly, mouse, keyboard, everything repsonsive during installation... just won't start Mac OS X after installation... please, please help

any ideas, please help

Hola Big i... "STILL WAITING FOR DEVICE"...


Example: arguments include ---> device: rd=<BSD device name>

e.g. rd=disk0s2 disk1s2.....

Hey JP, thank you for the response... honestly, I'm not sure what you mean or what you're saying, could you please explain... sorry

are you using a SATA DVD RW and enable AHCI in BIOS ?

Thank you for the response d.l., I really appreciate your help

I'm using an ATA DVD RW, it's the only ATA type device attached, the two internal HD are SATA and the external HD is connected via USB. Do I still need to enable AHCI since the DVD RW is ATA?
