I have a Compaq V2310 (approx 3.5 years old).

1.6Ghz AMD Turion 64 processor
2GB DDR-400 RAM
ATI Radeon 200M
Broadcom Wireless
AC`97 Audio

I tried installing iDeneb 10.5.6 and iAtkos 10.5.7 but I get a circle with a diagonal line through it over-top the apple logo while the installer is loading. I have used the same iAtkos DVD on my desktop to install it, and it worked perfectly. But my desktop is a new Intel based system.

Can anyone recommend me a distro of OS X that will work on my laptop? Or is it a futile effort?

Thanks!

Anybody? Even an educated guess?

I tried installing it, but despite all the information I can find on these forums and other sites, I'm getting "Still waiting for root device" messages.

Being a laptop, I don't have the option to set primary or slave devices. I can choose which device the laptop looks to boot from first. I used a copy of linux live CD to wipe out all partitions on my HDD, and selected it as the main boot device. When it doesn't find anything on the HDD it boots from the DVD.

I've tried both iAtkos v7 10.5.7 and Leo4All v4.1.

I've tried boot commands of:

platform=X86PC -v
platform=ACPI -v
-x -v
-f -v

None were successful in even loading the installer. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

as far as beginning the installation, which is as far as i have gotten, make sure you are booting from cd or dvd. when it prompts you to choose what to boot from press f8 and type -v. that should let you see what your computer is doing while booting, that way you can get an idea of what is failing. Anyway, when i do that it actually takes me all the way to the installation gui. if you get the "waiting for response from boot deviice" or something like that, restart and try again. so far that is where i am at...
