ok so after much confusion i have worked out that the "Still waiting for root device" error i get during the boot from DVD is due to me not having a chipset driver

 

I assume this driver needs to be installed / added into the ISO (then re-burnt to DVD) so i can install OSX86. I think i know how to do this using something like transmac

 

However no matter where i look i CANT find out WHICH chipset driver and/or where/how i might get this driver.

 

If anyone can help me on either of these points it would be much appreciated :( (trying to install iPC osX86 10.5.6)

 

My specs:

DQ965GF Intel Desktop Board

Intel D945GCLL BIOS 5150

Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86gHz

3GB DDR2 RAM

640MB 8800GTS nVidia (can unplug this if needed)

IDE Sony DVD read/write combo drive

IDE 80GB HD (am using this as my test drive so i dont stuff my current windows install)

(also have a 500GB SATA drive currently not plugged in)

Genius PCI Audio Acceleration card (can unplug this if needed)

Realtek Network card (this is unplugged during install as it was causing errors)
