Setup freeze with EP45 + Leo4Allv3

[neyman]

After about 15 attempts to install OSX86 on the EP45-DS3, I really don't know how to solve the problem.

 

I tried several Distros (Leo4Allv3, Kalyway 10.5.1, iAtkos, Retail), but I was not able to install a working Leopard installation.

 

 

When installing Leo4allv3 the setup *always* freezes when about 7 minutes are remaining.

Kalyway 10.5.1 installs (with "setup failed") and restarts properly, but right before loading the GUI I get a scrambled screen with a repeating pattern. The same happens when installing retail (10.5.0 / 10.5.6 Retail disc).

 

 

I formatted my HDD with Disk Utility (2 partitions, GPT) and tried to install on both of them.

Disabling AHCI in the BIOS didn't help.

 

 

At the moment I just need a 10.5.x installation so I can install a Retail from it.

Thanks for any help in advance!
