osx freezez at Gray screen with apple

[drho2004]

i did the native install on my amd64 3000+ system:

 

amd64 3000+ (clawhammer) sse2

512mb ram

MSI K8MTT

radeon 9800 pro

 

i installed in on a spare 80gb HD i had laying around. i unplugged my main drive (XP) and only left the empty 80gb in there. installation went fine, then on first boot once it gets to the gray screen with the dark apple, i get the 'you need to restart your computer'

i restarted and same thing over and over. i dont know what could be wrong. anyting i couild try?

ok i booted unto mac osx desktop. i did it with safe mode i pressed F8 on Darwin Boot, then -x. it booted.

NIC not working, no sound.FW is recognised, my nec burner is found and so its my 2nd cd drive. but its pretty fast. feels at least as fast as my sister's powerbook 1.33ghz. im sure that if CI or QE were enabled it would be a lot better.

i guess the only way to boot for me is safe mode, since i dont know how to troubleshoot the freezing i was getting. oh well

Boot with the -v option and it will show you where the problem lies. Post your findings please.
