this is my problem:

i have tried several Mac OSX install cd's on my pc

and everytime i try to start for the first time (after install) i get a blueish screen with the cursor, but nothing else!

my config is the following:

 

Asus M2N32 Sli-Deluxe

AMD X2 6000+

HD3870 (sapphire-AMD)

Sound: onboard

wifi: onboard

memory 4096MB G.E.I.L

1 IDE 160GB

1 Sata 160GB

1 sata 1000GB

1 IDE DVD Burner

1 Sata DVD Burner

 

i have read that, with the right kexts my hardware wil all work:

HD3870 (just basic HD3870 kext)

sound: AzaliaAudio

Wifi: RTL8187

lan: Forcedeth-v

Wifi is sure to work, but i like my wired, so what do i do?

chipset:

ive got a Nforce 590 MoBo (which means NforceTest)

but my sata controller is the Si 3132 (which means Siliconimage3132)

which one?or BOTH!?

 

 

i have tried:

Kalyway

Iatkos (old version i had lying around somewhere)

Jas (old version)

Leo4all v3

and with allmost all i got that annoying error on first boot: blueish screen no info, but a moveable cursor

i tried maxmem=2048 and cpus=1

even -v -x -f -s all of them

i really looked for a solution on the forums..

couldn't find anything, there are to amny posts to look through them all.!

maybe one of you pro's got a fast and working solution!

 

i install my Leopard

on a 160GB IDE disk

from a IDE burner

the disk had two partitions:

Leopard (70GB)

Storage (70GB)

both HFS Journaled

 

help me find a solution please

if you should need more info, just message it here

also i have tried to install it more than once,

with different Kext settings

and with different dvd's (lower write speeds (down til 1x))

ok, in my install cd that works best and has best Kext support. (Leo4All v3)

i got a kext for my HD3870 PCI-E

so that shouldn't be the problem

also there is a ./options

command which gives you the option to uninstall videoKexts AFTER finished install

i have tried this, still the problem remains

 

though thanx for your response (and so fast)

 

UPDATE:

just installed it again with leo4all v3

samen problem (without video kexts)

light blue screen with in top left corner mouse, thats turns in to the waiting cursor and i can move the cursor but see no menu or anything! just blue, and cursor

it has been 2000 installs later.

and still having the ame problem

on the forums i see others got their config working with my mobo

others with my Grpah card also..

but mine doesnt..

 

i think the video kexts are the problem, but i cant find any solution (not installign them doenst help)

others with the ame graphic card install other versions of Mac (iatkos, kalyway etc)

but i get the same error, OR it doesnt even boot..

what should i do?

Bro, maybe if you try the iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5, it will work. It works for me, and I only get the blue screen when not running in safe mode (and I have no idea how to fix that, but anyway). I have the same motherboard as you have. Lan doesn't work, Wlan doesn't work, sound doesn't work, but everything else goes just smoothly.
