ccallahan Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I know that my computer doesn't like the stock DVD. So, I'm going to leave a lshw here and see if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance and sorry in advance if I posted this in the wrong category. http://sprunge.us/aKGb Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/253701-need-help-picking-a-mac-os-x-distro/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I got it to boot. Now, it isn't detecting my hard drive. Any ideas? I'm in #SnowLeopard and #hackint0sh on irc.osx86.hu if anyone from there sees this.
