Danny J Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi everyone, name is Danny and this is my first ever post! Also my first time ever trying to do something as crazy as this project. I'd like to thing i know my way around both Windows and OS X. But have never done any serious coding to scripting of any sorts. So on that note i have 2 questions.... 1) I have a Mac pro and it came with the OS X 10.5.4 install disc. Does this count as the "retail dvd" or is it only a one license disc? I'm using this disc as my retail 2) As the title implies i have a Gateway Intel Schroeder Town G33 Motherboard. The chipset is Intel Bearlake-G33. 256Mb NVidia GeForce 8500GT. Intel Core2 Quad Q6600@2.4Ghz. The whole setup is a Gateway workstation GM5638E. So i made sure my BIOS is up to date, made the SATA be AHCI and i'm using the Boot-132 version BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY.iso. I pop it in and let it load and once it says "boot:" i switch to my retail dvd and press enter it reads "Loading Darwinx86" with what looks like a spinning bracket. It loads for about 5-10 mins then brings up a screen thats white with the grey apple logo. Then everything just stops as if it just froze. The cd-rom stops spinning and there are no cancel icons which i have seen using other distros. It just sits on the grey apple logo. Any tips or solutions?

Danny J Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm thinking maybe something is wrong with my chipset since i read that some MSI mobos were having issues with a G33 chipset.
