booting issue

[Nihilanth]

i got everything set up and DDed over to my drive, then i get ready to boot. a number of things happen

 

if i dont give darwin any specific boot commands it brings up the grey apple logo with the rotating bars and loads for a while. after a minute or two it locks up for a few seconds and then shows a screen saying i need to reboot. ive rebooted many times with no luck.

 

if i type -x it loads with the apple logo but just locks up, i dont get an error message or anything. the bars just stop spinning.

 

if i type -v it loads and then stops on something about devices. i thought it might need a USB keyboard instead of a PS2 one so i hooked up a USB keyboard. same error.

 

any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks

 

 

oh and if it would help here's my system settings

 

Intel Pentium 4 3.2Ghz E "Prescott" (with SSE3)

Intel D865PERLK Motherboard

1GB Crucial PC3200 RAM (2x 512)

128MB ATI Radeon 9600XT

120GB Western Digital 7200rpm SATA Drive (main - windows)

80GB Maxtor 7200rpm IDE Drive (secondary normally but switched to main for install - OSX)

update: i manages to boot it in safe mode, but i have a couple new problems. i moved the position of the hard drive on the ide cable up to the master position and it let me boot in safe mode. however, when i try to boot to normal it doesnt work, it just hangs on the apple logo

 

couple remaining problems:

 

a. CoreGraphics: i have the file, how do i set it up?

b. Rosetta: how do i get it to work?

c. PS2 Keyboard: how do i get it to work?

 

thanks..
