Hi 2 all!
I want to install osx86 on my AMD desktop.
The config is:
AMD x2 5200
MSI K9N6PGM-2
HDD SATA 500 GB
2 X 2048 MB KINGSTON DDR2 670
DVD RW LG SATA

With kaliway I had a "still waiting..." and I cannot run the install.
And with Leo4All v3 when the install process starts, it start to copy the files to the HD and then the machine freezes, with the 2% of the installation complete.
What can be wrong. I selected the Vanilla kernel and the drivers of the chipset on my mobo.
I really apreciate your help!!!
Thanks!

The only distrib I could get to install on my AMD with sata DVD was iPC. Leo4All and iDeneb got SAM media errors even after repeated burns of each.

You have to select the voodoo kernel since Vanilla is for Intel CPUs only.

use rev A its the final of the first version. don't use the alpha of version 2. it's still in testing. also, if that gives you problems try Lawless' distro.

Ok, i will try the lawless distro. (the 5th distro i will try)
With IPC 10.5.6 , the instalation was complete, but in the boot, with the -v -f flags, appears a legend "data underrun" and hold the sistem.

With ideneb 10.5.5, appears a kernell panic with the thread launchdc...

I have no lucky... :(
