Kalway install on 650i / Q6600

[refl3x]

I am trying to install Kalway 10.5.1 on my main pc but so far ive not been able to get to installing it.

 

To get the installation to boot i have to boot with "-x legacy cpus=1"

 

Once i get the installer loaded up i open disk utility and try to partition the disk as 1 partition (currently has 3on it) but it comes up with the message "hold down the power button to turn off" and has not altered the partitions or data on the hard disk at all.

 

The HDD is a 160GB SATA-II WD Caviar

 

I tried using an IDE HDD but it does not see any of my IDE hard disks

 

System

 

Q6600

nForce 650i

4GB RAM

8800GTS 640mb

 

What am i doing rong?
