Trouble running/installing OSx86

[yadada965]

Hello, first post with hope that i will get Leopard running on my PC.

 

I tried reinstalling numerous times but my problem is always in the boot section. I downloaded iDeneb v1.4 OSx86 (Leopard 10.5.6), burned it to a DVD-R, booted the DVD ROM, & installed it completly fine (as far as the green check mark at the end goes). Now when it reboots i've gotten these 3 problems: the "circle with the slash" on the apple, the dark grey "please turn off your computer" with all the different languages on the apple, loading circle on the apple just,...loading, nothing else happens. So as far as im concerned & what i've accumilated on the web that is wrong is:

 

I need tio change some BIOS settings &

choose the right drivers in the "customize" section in the installation.

 

This is where im hoping i'd get some assistance. As far as the BIOS is concerned i've read that the i need to change from IDE to AHCI, i have a minimum clue of what exactly to do, i've been in my computers BIOS but cant even see any option that changes IDE to AHCI & dont even want to mess with it cause i hear its risky if you dont know what you are doing, so there that goes unless i've miss read.

 

Okay now the customize part. First i think i should post my computer specs with as much information possible:

 

eMachines W5243 X86 based

motherboard: ECS MCP61SM-GM mATX Motherboard

processor: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.4GHz

SSE, SSE2, SSE3

RAM: 1024mb

HD: 222gb

BIOS: Phoenix V6.0PG

video: nVidia GeForce 6100 nForce 405

 

Now this is the drivers i chose during the installation:

Additinal fonts (all)

X11

iDeneb Essential system

Alternative essintial patch: PS2 Fix mouse & AMD Patch

audio: apple azalia audio

chipset: appleNForceATA

kenrel: Kernel 9.2.2 SSE3

ethernet: Realtek R1000

Fix: firewire remove & seatbel fix

Applications (all)

 

I hope i explained the situation enouph, i would appriciate even anything that might even point me to the right direction, unless according to my hardware i just simply cant install the OSx86.

I reinstalled Vista on my PC.

Thanks in advance to anybody that response. Im not giving up

When your OSx86 boot loader appears, try typing "-v" to enter verbose/text-mode boot mode. This will replace the Apple logo with circular twirling graphic with a series of text-mode messages that summarize what the system is doing as it boots. With any luck, this will help you zero in on what's going wrong, since chances are the problem driver or other subsystem will be the last one to display a message that it's loading. If you're very lucky, there might be an obvious error message. You can then search on information about the problem subsystem specifically and/or try to disable it.

 

choose the right drivers in the "customize" section in the installation.

 

Start by choosing no drivers, beyond what's absolutely required to boot anything at all. Leave out audio drivers, video drivers (aside from the generic drivers, which will probably not even be an option to exclude), Ethernet drivers, and anything else that's described as optional. (Optional bug-fix items are exceptions to this rule, particularly if you think your system is likely to be affected by the original bug.) You can add all these drivers back later, one at a time. Reboot after you add each one. If the system boots, you're good. If it hangs, you've found your culprit. (There are ways to remove malfunctioning drivers without reinstalling, so you shouldn't need to start over at this point.)

Is that kernel AMD-capable? AMD users have to pay careful attention to the kernels they use. Real x86 Macs all use Intel CPUs, and Apple's kernel isn't very AMD-friendly. Personally, I use the Voodoo kernel on my AMD-based system, and it works quite well. There are other options, but I don't know offhand if the one you mention is one of them.
