iDeneb install options help?

[caustic13]

Hello there - I am new to this all and having a few issues. At first I got the circle error. I reinstalled with different settings and it seemed to boot but display only a black screen.

 

Here is my system configuration -

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115029

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813128059

Memory: G Skill F2-6400CL5d-2GBNQ (800mhz) - http://www.devhardware.com/c/a/Memory/G-Sk...26400CL5d2GBNQ/

Videocard: ASUS GeForce 8800GT 512MB - http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1228/asus...card/index.html

 

I just really need to know which install options to use, and also if there are any changes I need to make in the board BIOS. Thanks!

Here is the guide that I followed.

 

2. Changing BIOS Settings:

• Turn on your computer and press ‘Del’ key on your keyboard to enter BIOS settings.

• Navigate to ‘Integrated Peripherals’ hit ‘Enter’ and make sure that your SATA mode is set to AHCI and not ‘Disabled’.

• Navigate to ‘Power Management’ in BIOS and change setting from S3 (default) to S1 to get sleep and/or shut down working properly.

 

3. Booting/Installing iDeneb:

• Place your iDeneb DVD into DVD drive and turn on/restart your computer.

• At BIOS prompt, press ‘F12’ and choose ‘CD Drive/DVD Drive’

• At the Darwin prompt, you will read this: “Press any key to start from CD-Rom, or press F8 to enter start up options…” You need to press F8 and type ‘-v’ (without ‘) and press ‘Enter’ to load OS X in verbose mode. After few minutes you should see this window. Click on blue arrow at the bottom (after choosing your language of course).

• On the ‘Welcome Screen’, don’t click on ‘Continue’ button yet. You need to format your hard drive first. Go to ‘Utilities → Disc utility’.

• Select your hard drive at the top left corner and click on ‘Erase’ tab.

• Choose ‘Mac OS Extended (Journaled)’ from the drop down menu of ‘Volume Format’ and click on ‘Erase’ button. Confirm the erase command.

• Click on ‘Partition’ tab and in the ‘Volume Scheme’ drop down menu choose – 1 Partition. In the Name field type ‘OSX’. Leave the format option to ‘Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

• Now, click on ‘Options’ button at the bottom left corner and choose ‘Master Boot Record’ (MBR), click on OK and hit ‘Apply’ at the main ‘Disk Utility’ window. Confirm the creation of the ‘OSX’ partition. Wait few moments as ‘Disk Utility’ works its way through.

• Close ‘Disk Utility’ by clicking on the red dot at the top of the ‘Disk Utility’ window. You are back to the ‘Welcome’ screen.

• Click on ‘Continue’ button and hit ‘Agree’.

• Select destination hard drive – OSX and click on ‘Continue’.

• Click on ‘Customize’ button

• Choose these packages: X11; under Audio, choose AC97Audio; under Chipset, don’t select anything; under Kernel option, choose 9.4.0 Vanilla or you can choose 9.2.0 Sleep (I have selected 9.4.0 Vanilla); under Network (Ethernet), choose Intel 100ProVE; under Fix (SMBIOS), choose Apple SMBIOS 800 (if your Ram is 800MHz, like mine); under Fix, select Apple PS2 Controller; under Video (NVidia), expend Nvinject and choose your graphics card, if you have NVidia video card. If you have ATI, choose the appropriate kext for your card; under Applications, choose all. Click on ‘Done’ button.

• After you get back to ‘Install Summary’, click on ‘Install’ (you can skip checking install DVD by hitting ‘skip’ button).

• Installing - wait. At about one minute remaining, it will look like the installation process got stock, its normal. Just wait.

• ‘Install Succeeded’ window ☺. Click on ‘Restart’ button.

 

I think I used a dif kernel because that one wasn't available. Does anything stick out as a problem with that install method. And yes I realize that guide is for an older version and some things might not apply the same

I would really appreciate some help with this if possible.
