I am hoping someone can help me out with some suggestions on what to do next, I am trying to get Leopard installed here are the details:

 

Hardware

Motherboard: ASUS P5K-E/Wifi

Processor: Intel Cor 2 duo E8500 3.16GHz, SS2, SS3

Memory: 4GB

Video card: XFX GEForce 8600GT 512MB

I have a 200GB SATA hard drive just for OSX

 

First installation was on Kalyway 10.5.2, found a guide in the forums and setted the Bios per the guide, OSX installs with no problems using the recommended settings (Vanilla Kernel, Nvinject, Marvell Lan); when rebooting I will get the grey screen with the apple logo and then it goes black, hard drive activity stops and it freezes.

Tried "cores=1" option, -x and -v, same results the three times, did not get eny errors in -v.

 

Second installation I did not select any options, the machine froze up on the grey screen with the apple logo. Tried "cores=1" option, -x and -v, same results the three times, did not get eny errors in -v.

 

Fourth installation I used the speedstep kernel (although speedstep was disabled in the BIOS), same results, tried the same boot options.

 

For the fifth installation I found an Ideneb guide, and repeated the process above (installed it 4 times).

 

I am getting a Leo4all dvd, but I am afraid that I will have the same issue.

I have burned the DVDs in DVD-R, at 2x speed, the installation has verified the disk with no errors.

I would appreciate if anyone has some pointers, I am almost out of ideas, have searched the forums since 12/29 when I began trying... no success so far.

 

Thanks!
