I've been trying to load SL installation disk but I get different hangs

 

1. Hangs on Couldnt alloc class VoodooHDADevice when using SL Patched DVD5 from here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=215258

 

2. With Retail DVD it stops either at ACPI System State or loading done After the ACPI showing something about netkas fame smc emulator.

 

Update : I tried another SL retail DVD and i got kernel panics

 

I tried -v cpus=2 or cpus=1, nothing

 

Tried chameleon cd boot, empire efi, legacy empire efi. Nothing

 

My Drive and usb methods stopped blinking at those two hangs

 

I tried other distros of Leopard and i get kernel panics or stuck at the same two hangs metioned before.

 

I read of people being able to run SL on this motherboard. But why when i try all those instructions I still have problems. I even mounted another cd Drive and get the same results.

 

Please I need help.

I managed to boot it with a normal version of Empire EFI however i still need the cd to boot. I tried installing both bootloaders the cd provide but both hangs at the same problems i had previously.

 

Tried Chameleon and MyHack and nothing seems to help.

 

Also I cant make the lan to work.

 

I need for chameleon to work so i can add the beta booter from netkasand add support for my Ati 4350 card.
