Trouble with iDeneb 10.5.5

[kaossalami]

Well ive tryed so many kernals and loaders and booters, including kalyway, but the only one seemed to work was iDeneb v.1.3

 

Well, i press f12 to boot from cd

 

i boot from the cd and the apple logo shows up on the screen and then it starts loading, with a circle of dots saying its loading

 

and thats it... it was stuck on that screen for 3 hours, no stop or do not enter sign or anything, im not sure, i tryed -v and that didnt give me any errors, ive waited more than 3 hours and it still doesnt work...any ideas?

 

Im running on a dell inspirion 1720, 8400GM nVideo GPU. Intel centrino Duo processor.

I did a few installs of iDeneb 1.1 (er... the 10.5.4 version, whichever that is). I noticed it would hang if there was an existing OSX install on the drive. If I blew away the partition table (w/ a linux install CD or whatever) it would then boot fine. But it turned out that drive was probably bad, which may have been part of the problem.

 

For reference, I think it took about 2 minutes to boot up the install CD.

i think reason is graphics card issue. don't select any vga driver at customize process.after install you need to boot with safe mode("-x").try to install that driver and reboot.
