HP 8730w / PM45 chipset / C2D T9600 2.8Ghz / 4Gb / NVidia Quadro FX2700M / Firewire / AHCI mode enabled in bios. I donno if it's relevant, but on my hdd are installed win7.x64 and xp.x86 (that i intend to delete on installer)

 

when using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] legacy + retail leopard i get this. i have tried the -x argument at boot, and also busratio=10.5

 

When i boot from iatkos S3V2 i get the forbidden sign, and if i use -x at boot it loads a while, and then stops and "still waiting for the root device".

 

later edit: i booted from an external cd-rom and i solved the "still waiting for the root device" problem. it appears that osx have some problems installing when both hdd and cdrom are on the same sata cable (or at least this is my explanation)

 

i used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] legacy with "cpus=1 -x -v" arguments to solve the kernel panic.

 

right after install i have: video, network, mouse (although not all usb ports are working)
