Im having some trouble here.'

 

Im trying to instakk the newest zephyr thing,.

Burned it to a dvd and it starts fine.

The problem is, that it can only see my SATA drives in the disc util.

I want to install on a fresh IDE HDD.

 

How do i make the Disk Util, see IDE drives?

Thank you..

 

Does it matter if its Primaty Master, and Slave

or Secondary Master and Slave?

 

Im having one problem though-

 

Everytime i set my IDE HDD af Slave, and connects it to the IDE cable, the DVD drive dissapears.

And then when i remove the HDD, the DVD drive Appears again :S

Okay.I Managed to get my Computer to see both the DVD driver and the HDD this way

Primary Master: Empty

Primary Slave: Empty

Secondary Master: SAMSUNG DVD

Secondary Slave: SEAGATE120GB

But now i cant get in to the installer. It just freezes, during Installer initialization. ;) Here are the 5 last lines in Verbose mode.

USBF: 1.364 Attempting to get EHCI Controller from BIOS

USBF: 1.366 USBLEGCTLSTS value e0040000

USBF: 1.367 Found USBLEGSUP_ID - value 0x1000001 - writing OSOwned

USBF: 1.369 acquireOSOwnership done - value 0x1000001

 

Still waiting for root device

okay. i godt past the error, but only by disabeling USB controller in the BIOS.Now its pretty hard to do anything in the installer, as i cant use my mouse or keyboard (Since they are disabled in the BIOS), and PS2 dont work :S

Okay..

 

I Made the installer see my IDE drive, and installed OSX Leopard on it (with MBR).

 

But after reboot, my computer wont boot from the Harddrive.

When its about to initialise harddrives and boot from it, it just stops. :)
