Hi All,

Yes, first post, gotta love it.

 

So I've been working on a project for quite a while that is essentially a very nice, dual-processor workstation. Specifically,

 

2 x E5520 (2.26GHz) Intel processors

Asus Z8PE-D12X Mobo

6 x 2GB of memory

GTX 260

Audigy 2 ZS

4 x 500GB Segate 7200.12 Barracuda's ( Raid 5 via motherboard hardware ) (Disk 0)

1 x 80 GB Western Digital Caviar (Disk 1)

 

I've already got a copy of Windows 7 on it, and its great. Making it a hackintosh would make is that much more awesome. :D (Mac Pro, anyone?)

 

The installer has been a pain to say the least, and absolutely refuses to boot. I've tried numerous distros that have all failed:

Kalyway 10.5.2 (Still waiting for boot device / Kernel Panic (Depends on boot options))

iAtoks 5i ( Still waiting for boot device )

iDeneb v4 ( using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers )

 

I apologize in advance if fixes are posted somewhere; believe me, I've been looking hard.

( Day 3 of fiddling ;) )

I can't find a combination of : -v -s -f , rd, cpus, platform to work.

Drives are configured as AHCI in BIOS.

But, any suggestions / possible fixes? Maybe another distro to try?

If I've neglected any important info, please, let me know.

 

TY in advance.
