I am attempting to install OSx86 on the following machine:
AMD Phenom II x4 940
Gigabyte MA790x-UD4P (F5 bios)
HD4830 512MB Videocard
4x2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 5-5-5-15
LG SATA Optical DVD Drive
1x 1TB WD Caviar Green
1x 1TB WD Caviar Black
1x 750GB Samsung SATA Drive
1x 200GB IDE Drive
1x 160GB IDE Drive
I was attempting to use iDeneb 1.4, but I am not sure if any other distro would be easier to use. When I tried to install it, the loader recognized my IDE drives fine, but then I got "still waiting for root drive" (I also tried ACPI also, didn't change anything). I want to install the system on a 30GB partition on my Caviar Black drive, but if thats not an option, I am not set on it.
Basically, I am not sure if I am going about this the right way, or if I should be using some other release. Any help is appreciated.
