X: Always beachball of death

Hello :-)

I installed LawlessPPC without a problem. But now it comes always to a beachball of death. I've seen there is a lot of wrong permissions that the disk utility can't fix. I ran the repair app several times.

What is to do? How to config the BIOS?

Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H
CPU: 9150e
RAM: 4GB from MDT

It isn't a nforce board. It's SB700.

I did a little bit of googling. It seems the nforce.kext isn't the issue. I'm running all my (SATA)-Drives in SATA-Mode and also tested the system with 2GB of RAM (Maxmem) and had the same issue.

What's wrong with my system, what can I do?

I've tried various BIOS settings and it seems like the "EHCI USB onboard chip" (USB2) is the reason for the beachball of death.

Is this a know issue or have I to install a kext?
