Mac OSx86 (iDeneb) does not boot

[EdeBoi]

Ok, mates, i got an problem:
i installed on the second partition of my Harddisk iDeneb 1.4 (on the other is WinXP Pro SP3)

I installed, everything worked fine.
But after the reboot, i get this screen:

the dvd drive is not spinning anymore, but the light is flashing, also my Harddrive does not work.

What could it be?
Could it be because of Windows xp and the MBR?

How can i fix it?

Oh and yeah:
Also i dont have the ckeckpoint "Configure SATA as: AHCI"..
dunno, it dont exist in my BIOS (ASROCK ALiveNF6P-VSTA, 1.50)

I would try ideneb 10.5.5 or 10.5.6 and don't forget to select applenforceata test and it should boot.

Hi EdeBoi,

I almost have the same configuration (my videocard is an ATI 1900GT). Could you post the kernel and option you selected in ideneb in order to make it work ?

Thanx

I experience some unstable with iDeneb 10.5.5 with mcp55 chipset + SATA2 hd, system can start and work, but it will halt or reboot after uncertain hours.

2. RADEON HD 4870 video card 1GB
3. ASUS Rampage II Extreme ATX Intel motherboard
HELP BIOS settings FOR RAMPAGE EXTREME II, I too have loaded ideneb 10.5.5 on my PC, (ASUS RAMPAGE EXTREME II AND i7920... i finally got it to find the harddrive where I loaded mac Ideneb on (HOW YOU ASK?= After mac install on a formated extended journed Separate hardrive, I immediately opened the terminal from the install menu before reboot! and typed "fdisk -e/dev/rdisk2s2".....the 2s2 was identified as the actual harddrive and partition on my computer....YOU ASK AGAIN....I found out which drive it was by typing in the termal program Immediately after insall of IDENEB "diskutil list"....which provided me the "2s2" as the mac hardrive in my computer.)
I used a forum generic bios setup:
Main
- Storage Configuration
+ Configure SATA as [AHCI]
- Advanced
- CPU coonfiguration
+ Intel ® HT Technology [Disabled]
+ Active Processor Cores [1]
+ A20M [Disabled]
+ everything else [Enabled]

+ Front Panel Audio [HD Audio]

+ ACPI APIC Support [Enabled]
- APM Configuration
+ Restore on AC Power Loss [Last State]
- Boot
- Boot Device Priority
+ 1st Boot Device [ATAPI CD-ROM]
+ 2nd Boot Device [Hard Drive]


PROBLEM: It will not boot mac from the hardrive, It starts with apple icon, then goes to time out.

Also tried many of the other programs: xxx10.5.6, IPC 10.5.6, TOHX86, KALYWAY 10.5.2, v.7, generic kernals/my retail copy of OSX, etc.I have tried everything in setting up the BIOS (note: I have to change the default settings to achieve the above result....I follow similar but not the same as mine and it sometimes allows IDENEB to load, i then put in the terminal to tell it to boot from the drive, it starts with mac icon then times out and fails instalation)

I have read gobs of forums, But I think I need the Bios settings for my board and processor (asus extreme II + Intel i7-920) for best opperation. Screen shots would be great!

Then a simple step by step process......remember I am a Mac person, not a geek for IBM. For getting my system up and running, I will deal with the sound, 4 cores and internet later.

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED with step by step (if you instruct me to do something like put in a kernal please explain steps). thanks
