HP Pavilion dv8000

[n1mda]

Hi, I'm totally new to the whole OSX86 technologies, but I would like to install leopard on my HP Pavilion dv8000

 

I know that the error I'm getting is REALLY common, but I havn't found any solution for it yet. I downloaded iDeneb 10.5.5 and the error I'm recieving is "Still waiting for root device".

 

My specs are:

AMD Turion64 Mobile ML-40

2GB RAM

ATI Radeon Xpress 200M

 

I have two Fujitsu MHV2080AH 80GB HDD's, one with NTFS and windows installed, and the other one with ext3 with linux.

 

My idea was to install Leopard over the ext3 partition.

 

I tried to disconnect one of the HDDs but then iDeneb froze when I pressed enter after "Press any key to start from CD"

-legacy does not work

-x neither.

 

in BIOS there is no options to play around with IDE/SATA-drives.

 

Is it time to move on to another release?

 

Any help is much appreciated,

I patched the ISO with the nForce patch but I'm still recieving the waiting for root device error.

 

This is driving me insane! Right now it also just freezes when I enter -v at boottime.

 

Is there not ANY solution to this? Whatever I have tried it has been absolutely useless. Nothing works.

 

I would really appreciate some answers.

So I managed to boot the iPC 10.5.6 image using an external DVD-drive.

 

But when I enter disk utility my harddrives does not show up, is there any way to fix this or do I have to install on to an external harddrive?

 

If the later, is it possible to transfer the installation at a later time to my internal drive. Perhaps with unix dd?

 

I have an ATI SB400 chipset and it is supported by iPC. As far as I know my harddrives are SATA.
