Proper settings for Asus P5B

[shoxcorp]

Hello Everyone.
I have a computer with the following specs:

Asus P5B
Core2Duo 6400
2GB ram
PCIE Geforce 7600
PCI Geforce 5200

I am trying to find the proper settings to install ideneb on the rig. Tried with the default settings, i got a BSOD. tried with the speedstep kernel, didnt work. Tried with StageXNU and i got to the loading screen but got the stop sign (error) in the middle of the screen.
Can anyone assist me with the proper selections of custom options i have to select?


Thanks in advance,
shoxcorp

Looking briefly @ your mobo specs, you could try to go stock/retail

I see that your p5b has a JMicron HD controller which used to cause errors, but if you're all SATA, give it a go.

You can find a guide (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=144020&view=findpost&p=1022273) over @ insanelymac that worked for many P5 series, under step 4 you'll find my guide too.

I can only verify things for p5q-em, but the procedure is the same, just hunt down the necessary drivers and give it a try.
