Tyan Thunder K8SE - What to do

[sonarMTL]

I successfully installed iDeneb v1.5 1057 on a few pcs before i attempted to do it on my Tyan Mobo.

Here is where I am at:

 

I can boot to installation where I can also see my sata drives.

 

Once installed, I can't seem to boot to the hard disk...

 

All my system sees is Ethernet connection.

 

Booting from Dvd doesn't seem to help. Without Dvd... I get a forever blinking prompt on top left of screen.

 

My gear:

 

Cpu:

 

2X dual core AMD Opterons (total 4 cpus)

 

Chipset:

 

AMD-8131

Nvidia Nforce Professional 2200 (from what i read in forums this is classed as a Nforce 4)

Winbond W83627HF Super I/O

 

 

Memory:

 

1.5 gig DDr 333 registered ram

 

 

Sata controllers are from Nforce 2200

 

Drives:

 

1 Sata II 320 megs HD

 

(4 other to be added as Raid later)

 

DVD drive is pluged on my IDE (this is where I am installing from)

 

Bios

 

ACPI and SRAT support

 

--------------------------

 

Should I try another OSX86 system?

 

I tried using recommended combinations for my hardware but nobody seems to have gear quite like mine (both nforce4 and AMD)

 

I have been trying to install directly from DVD to a HD dedicated to only that installation (journaled)

 

Can someone help me out?
