First, sorry for my poor english. :D i'm writing here because i serach a solution to my problm from 3 days...i have read posts, guides and many topics but i didn't found the right solution. i would be very happy if someone could help me.

 

This is my pc:

CPU: AMD dual core 4000

Mother board: Asrock AliveNF5 (chipset Nforce 5200)

graphic card: Sapphire Radeon 9600 XT DDR4

Hard disk: Maxtor (sata)

 

i tryed to install different version of Leopard, searching the most compatible with my hardware. The better (for me...it seems) is Leo4All version 2. this is the steps i followed

 

1)I've created a partition with Acronis.

2)created a DVD with Leo4All iso

3)i have boot che pc from DVD. i formatted the partition (of 10GB) in Hfs+.

4) i have selected custom installation and i have installed from the list the files that i think i need. I installed the files for = SS3, AMD fix, ATI 2600, Nforce 3/4/5.

5) the installation finished without problems. i restart my pc.

6) the dawin boot seems work and i can choose if start the Windows partition or the other. i have chosen the other and start a long scrypt.

I can read

"AppleNForceATA::scanfordrivers found 1 unit"

but, after other scrypts i can read

"AppleNForceATA::scanfordrivers found 0" and after "still waiting for boot device"....and it stops.

 

I'm not a programmer, and i don't know a lot of pc, but, after reading a lot of posts, i think that the problem could be

1) problem with my HD that is SATA or

2) problem whith NForce chipset of my Mother board.

 

if the problem is the second i foun in this forum the AppleNForceATA.kext and downloaded it but i don't have idea how to use it. i have tryed to read the guide for kext file but i did'nt undestand how to use it (all the guides were in english).

 

 

Someone could propose a solution for my problem? :whistle:

 

Thanks to all.
