OS X won't re-install
I have a Compaq computer, and I did a system restore and it restored over my OS X directory.
I did a few reinstalls from iPC Live x86 and they have failed. Booting OSX results in a system reboot, or a waiting for device, or waiting for network. I'm frustrated! Before, it wouldn't boot off the HD, and I had to boot the install CD and then launch OSX. Right now, I would be happy if I could get back to that even.

Pop in your distro(I.E. iPC or your retail disc)
Reformat the hardrive. Dick Utility, Select Drive, Erase and re Partition Continue your install. And boot it up! You said something about not being able to boot without the disc.. well Google for Chameleon 2 RC4 Installer. Then Download and run the packedge, no need for installer disc to boot.

I either get a waiting for device, (Tried several re=diskXsX commands with the same result) the computer just reboots without any info as to why, or it locks up (hard) when detecting netwerking...

I would give Empire EFI a shot or use SnowOSX Universal 3.6.

SnowOSX Universal is only for intel, But how are you partitioning with the GUIDE or MBR partition map?

The kernel is another area where I'm lost...Every install, I've used AMD compatable kernels...
