SL won't recognise my Hard drive

SNOW LEOPARD 10.6 on Asus Ecc PC 1005P

 

I've hit a brick wall.

 

I'm installing Snow Leopard 10.6 on an Asus 1005p.

 

Using the guide and comments to the letter, everything goes fine...to a point. However despite installing SL and installing the extras and kexts as advised, the netbook will not boot from the internal drive.

 

It looks like it is booting, but the grey Mac logo with grey spinning wheel below, suddenly has what looks like a traffic 'no entry' sign on the mac logo. It goes no further.

 

In sys preferences the internal drive is not offered as a start up disk. Only the 'network' and 'USB Mac OSx'. And despite three installs, only once did I manage to get the netbook to boot from it's own drive.

 

I've repaired permissions, repaired the netbook HD.

 

I've repartitioned the HD (guid/ Mac OS journaled), and reinstalled but to no avail.

 

Any idea at all why the netbook will not boot properly ?

 

Advice gratefully received.

 

Francis
