As so many before I've got problems installing OS X

[Arcum]

Owkey; first things first... I've read countless "tutorials" and I've searched these forums for spec-like pcs, none of them we're any help... So plz...

 

My specs;

 

CPU: AMD Athlon X2 Dualcore

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M55S-S3

With; nVidia NF550 - 4GB Ram (Corsair)

Video: nVidia 8800 GTX

HD: IDE HD 80Gb (Connected)

SATA 1TB + SATA 750Mb + SATA 750Mb (all disconnected atm - for installation purposes)

DVD-drives; Sata DVDdrive (disconnected, as it doesn't work for install) + IDE DVDdrive

(do you need more info?)

 

I've got myself various Distro's and so far not one of them has made it to the finish...

* Kalyway 10.5.2

* iAtkos v7 10.5.7

* iDeneb v1.5.1 10.5.7

* getting iPC while writing this...

 

Kalyway's the one that got me to the finish once, but froze at startup - but then I think I've done something wrong...

 

So I've got various questions:

* First of all, does my hardware supports OS X; I think it does, though I'm not sure...

* I can't change my AHCI in my Bios, is this the problem to this all?

* What's the difference between "the AMD patch" and selecting another Kernel to install?...

* Do I have to select drivers for eg my chipset or does it manually select the best drivers possible?

* When an install crashes on me, I reset my pc and the first thing I do is Erase/Create the partition again, so no old files get stocked on it... Is it good - yes or no? And when I create my partition I make it "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" or is that wrong?

 

I'm trying out different settings over & over again... I know it's all a process of trial and error but if there's anyone out there with a little more info on my specs I would be mighty gratefull...

 

I get various errors with all those non-Kalyway distro's... will post them next time...

 

Right now I'm trying to install Kalyway 10.5.2 again... Hopefully - fingers crossed...

 

(and sorry to say this but I'm on vacation this weekend, so I won't be replying till next monday, my sincere apologies - but please spill your thoughts on this on)

Alrighty!!! That Kalyway install worked!! for the first time ever!!... Nice... Only problem right now is I think I forgot to check on my driver for my Lan... Anyway, is it any good to download that upgrade to 10.5.6? and I think you can upgrade from .2 to .6 directly or not... (I'll check it tomorrow)

 

Cheers mates!...
