Thank to you all very much !!!!

I have the same motherboard and it is all running great on mine. (Including XP through Parallels)

 

1) Have you tried totally disconnecting the SATA windows drive?

2) What options did you install with Kalyway? MBR, GUID? EFI with Vanilla kernel? What about video drivers?

You need to fix the EFI bootloader, I had exactly the same problem.

 

You need a USB pen and the EFI patcher. Put the EFI patcher pack on the USB pen and reboot using the DVD... I used the boot_v8 and it worked perfectly.

 

It is time to patch EFI/Bios - the command is pretty straight forward, but you will need to know your RDISK information - if you don't know, at the terminal prompt type enter -

 

mount [enter]

 

it will spit back information like this:

/dev/disk0s2 on /Volumes/Storage 500 A (hfs, local, journaled)

/dev/disk2s2 on /Volumes/Storage 500 B (hfs, local, journaled)

/dev/disk1s1 on /Volumes/LEOPARD (hfs, local, journaled)

 

The Volume label you are looking for is the one you installed Leopard onto earlier.

 

At this point, you should exit terminal and load up disk utility

unmount the drive that you installed LEOPARD to, when done exit disk utility and go back to terminal to your USB drive

 

cd /Volumes/[usb drive name]/pc_efi [enter]

 

type the following:

./startupfiletool /dev/rdiskXsX ./boot_v5 [enter]

where rdiskXsX is the drive and slice identifier you saw in the mount command

 

in my example, mine is disk1s1 (just put an r in front of it)

 

It should write about 7 lines of text, and exit.

 

Quit Terminal.

 

Now back to Disk Utility, and do a repair permissions on your drive, this is optional, but it probably won't hurt - safe to do and it might save you another 20 minute bootup into the installer just to do this.
