Hi,

 

I'm having trouble to install any Mac OS X image so expert advice is needed!

 

My setup:

MSI G31M-F (v1) mainboard

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400

2x 2GB DDR

Samsung SATA and IDE hard disks

ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro

LG HD-DVD+Blu-Ray combo

 

I've tried these but none of them seems to work:

KALYWAY LEOPARD 10.5.1 intel SSE2 and SSE3

iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3

iATKOS_v7

 

If I just press enter on bootloader the PC reboots. Using "-v" it looks like it loads a couple of lines and then reboots. I've tried vanilla mac_kernel cpus=1 -v -f -s -x -legacy and about every possible attributes but I can't get into install menu. Best I can do is to have apple logo and seems like install freezes there. It doesn't seem to matter if I use IDE or SATA drive (I tried with IDE only, 2x SATA only and 2x SATA + IDE).

 

Here are some photos of what's happening:

I think this was with iATKOS_v7 and "cpus=1 -v":

I tried to find someone who is using the same mainboard but no one seems to have luck with it. Is mainboard the issue here? I'm a complete noob what comes to Macs and I would just really like to have some basic knowledge about using OS X. I don't even need to have working sound, wlan, lan etc.
