Ok I have a new issue, I have got it to boot up but when the installer loads up and says "Click button to continue" my USB mouse wont talk to it, I have tried other mouses in other slots but none work.

<Old Issue>
Hi, there just downloaded, burned and booted my iATKOS v7 install. I have 2 disk drives and only one burnes, I tried the disk in both, on the firs non burning one the screen just stuck on the apple logo, so I ran the -v thing and saw it was sticking on the code:

AppleGenericPCATADriver: CMD 8x1f0, CTR 0x3f4, IRQ 14 

The second one (whitch is the burner) got stuck on the apple logo with the little spinny thing. In the code it got stuck on:

USBF:   5861 AppleUSBOHCI [0x660a800]::CheckSleepCapability - OHCI controller will be unloaded across sleep

After that it just kept saying "Still waiting for root device"

Here are my specs:
Processor = AMD Phenom 9500 Quad Core 2.20GHz
Motherboard = Geforce 7050M-M V2.0
Graphics = MIS N9500GT 1GB
Ram = 4GB

So have I done something wrong, can it be fixed or am I doomed to a like of windows?

I tried that and no luck. I'm burning a new image now to see if that helps.

Edit: Out of curiosity, where did you get a 64bit hackintosh os?

Author Update #2 @Melonking 2010-02-14

Tried making new disk on a real mac at slow speed. Did not help…

Author Update #3 @Melonking 2010-02-15

Ok, I have got it past the boot page and onto the install page that says "click button to continue" but it wont except any USB devises. When I unplug and plug in my mouse and the red light on the base turns one for a second then turns off.
