I do hav my specs in my signature.

P<S, I get the "Still waiting for root device" error booting with -x -f -v
is it b/c im installin from an ide/sata hdd and sata dvd drive ?
(using the Lawless 10.5.4 distro)

UPDATE:
-SO I used another Distro that wqs leading me to a Kernel panic everytime i installed it (Xxx OSX LEo 10.5.5 PPF1) I used it because it was the only Distro that would allow me to install it
-I used disk utility to restore the bad osx install from my internal hdd to my external hdd, then i repaired permissions all within Disk utility.
- I booted up from the external, to my suprise it works, but my sata devices arent recognized and neither is my processor. It says Im running a Mac Pro

SO now I'm trying to install all the drivers I need (SB700 kexts, NIC kexts, ect.)
I found the SB700 kexts somewhere in the insanleymac forums and I put the neccessary files in the System/libary but i get an error sayin I installed the kexts incorrectly.

Does anyone know what Im doing wrong. I just need this to work so my SATA dvd drive and SATA hdd will be recognized so i can copy the image from the external drive to the internal hdd.
