Acer Aspire 5740G and Mac OS X 10.6

[TheRealLink]

Hello everybody!

I tried to install Mac OS X on my Acer Aspire 5740G but i can't. The reason why is: i can't use my mouse or keyboard on the language selection screen while the installation.

I used:
- A original Mac OS X Snow Leopard Retail DVD from Apple
- this Boot CD: http://www.tonymacx86.com/Public/tonymacx86-P55BootCD.iso.zip
- and this parameters to boot: -x busratio=17

My notebook specs:
- Intel Core i5 430M
- 4GB Ram
- Motherboard: Acer Aspire 5740
- Chipset: Intel ID0044 Rev. 12
- ATI Radeon HD 5470

I hope someone can help me.
