Khan_Man Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Have you set your drive controller in the bios to AHCI? When you boot the disc, at the boot prompt type in a: -v for verbose mode. Find out where the computer is hanging up. Have you read any of the helpful installation guides? There are many of them on this site.

noneedfor_id Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 My advice is to check the HCL on the OSx86 website. The modded install ISO have kernels on them already and a vanilla kernel means one that is not modified. Have your BIOS settings right, run the disk with -v as Khan_Man suggested, and then try trial and error with the customizations. Good Luck and make sure to read as much as possible on these forums because I'm sure someone already has asked the questions will come up.
