Help Installing Kalyway 10.5.2 (freezes befores installation loads)

[BecomingxInsane]

Hello, I have a problem with the Kalyway install and I could use some help.

 

 

My System Specs:

 

System: Dell Inspiron 1501 Laptop

CPU: AMD Turion 64 X2

Graphics: ATI (IGP Xpress 1150?)

Audio: Sigmatel STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio

Wireless Card: Broadcom (BCM4311 802.11 Wireless Controler?[Kalyway says. not too sure if thats exactly what it is thogh])

80GB Hard Drive

 

The problem I'm having with installing Kalyway, is that when I boot form the DVD, I use -v as a boot option, and I get through some of the loader. It stops at AirPort_Brcm43xx: Ethernet Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. The DVD drive also stops,

 

Looking through forums, I found that one person had continued to tap on the trackpad and the drive started back up and the boot continued. I did that, and after a while of tapping, it does exactly that. But then once I get past that, I get stuck at a line of text that reads localhost Apple80211 updateprefs[144]: error: SCPreferencesComitChanges() failed, Read-only file system it freezes, (I cant add text to it, hit enter, or anything like that) and after messing with the trackpad, it will not start back up. I have tried a few boot options, like none, just -v, -x, -v cpus=1, and -x -s -f -v cpus=1, trying to hopefully kick the installer into action. Sometimes It will freeze before getting to the last message, and leave me at the AirPort one.

 

Now the weird, and face slapping myself part of it.

Before this, I had done the trackpad trick to kick it back into action after the AirPort_Brcm43xx line, and the installer started. and after many attempts I had Leopard 10.5.2 installed and somewhat working. Well, first run, after going though the Leopard registration and whatnot, I got to the desktop, and explored it for a few minutes, and I was going out to get a bite to eat, and hit sleep. Not knowing sleep wouldn't work. Well, it resulted in the laptop locking up, and me shutting it off and rebooting. Well, No matter what I did Leopard would NOT boot for me, unless it was safe mode. So I used safe mode to test out the awesomeness of OS X Leopard. After a while, I found kernels for it to boot normally, and I found the Leopard Graphics update with video acceleration so I wouldn't have to keep moving the mouse to keep things going. Well, I experimented with the kernels, (Sadly) and first I selected the AMD one (the second one, [modified and NOT the vanilla kernel]) and reboot. It didn't work, so going back into safe mode I installed both kernels, and I actually got one final REAL boot of Leopard. After needing to reboot again, It wouldn't work, and I accidentally only selected the Vanilla kenel while in safe mode, restarted, and no matter what i did, (safe mode, normal, -v, or any other commands) It would jsut restart.

 

Now I'm stuck and I can't seem to get the installation to get going...

I have tried having a fresh hard drive with nothing on it, partitions with vista installed on one of them, and a hard drive that is unallocated with no formatting yet. and noting.

Anyone have any ideas?

Any help is very much appreciated.
