Full Version: freeze on boot screen

I successfully installed Kalyway 10.5.2 and when I try to boot OSX it hangs on the boot screen.

I can see the apple and the spinning circle but as soon as the sound begins, the circle quits moving and nothing else happens (visually). The first time I booted, after the boot sound ended I could here a guy telling me about OSX's ability to recognize speech or something.

Any ideas of why this is happening? Anyhelp would be appreciated.

System info:

Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.1 Ghz
SSE3
3 GB ram
320 GB hd
Intel GM965 Chipset

ATI radeon hd 3470 graphics card


Thanks in advance.
