Author Update #1 @kikapoo 2009-09-07

I've been trying to install the iPC Final 10.5.6 Distro on my Acer M3630. I cannot get to the installation window or even boot the DVD.

The attempts have been unsucessful. I tried -v to look at what is wrong, and after just 4-6 lines and the phrase "Starting Darwin" appears, my computer reboots and the cycle repeats.

I tried using all kinds of flags, like -x, -v, -f, and -cpus=1 with cpus=1 bringing me the furthest until the apple logo with grey screen, and the indication bar spins for 15mins before a kernel panic appears. I can upload the kernel panic screen if anyone wants to see it.
