Please help me to boot osx installation to my new netbook Viewsonic VNB100

this is the vedors page of the netbook http://ap.viewsonic.com/vn/products/netbook/vnb100/specs.php

I use an external USB DVD-ROM for booting

I have test almost all distributions, Retail methods and Rebel Efi 10.5 and 10.6 but i cant boot the installation disk. I usual take the folowing msg
USBF: 5.386 EHCI controller unable to take control from BIOS
USBF: 5.395 AppleUSBEHCI [0x2792800]: unable to obtain ownership: 0xe00002be
USBF: 5.405 AppleUSBEHCI [0x2792800]: : UIMnitialize - Error occured (0xe00002be)
USBF: 5.418 AppleUSBEHCI : Unable to initialize UIM


The only distibution that boots and finishes the installation process is IPC 10.5.6 but after it restarts the system boots enders the bootloader, I press -v it starts and it reboots almost after it starts loading the OS

the problem is in the BIOS witch is a little strange maybe???

Well, I've had success on my samsung and these other guys did it also with a LG and MSi netbook...

Try Iatkos v7 with these instructions on my post... I don't use a DVD drive but a partition for source install... maybe you can adapt it some way for you...

There is no need to remove all the partitions like I do if you want to keep the restore partition from your manufacturer. The guy with the LG130 did it without removing them.

Also, have just tried typing cpus=1 at boot after installing?
