in your bios settings you should have set ACPI instead of IDE/SATA and then when you get to the same screen, press F8 and type this in:
rd=diskXsY (mine is disk0s2, but it might be different with urs than that) busratio=20 (if you have i7 920, use busratio=22 if you have i7 940, and I use busratio=24 because i have i7 965 EE) cpus=1 (single core) -v -f
then you should be able to boot into after installing, I have to use my Boot DVD XxX 10.5.6 in an IDE DVD drive and using those commands everytime i want to boot up...
p.s make sure you have your HDD/partition set as "First Boot Device" HDD in BIOS. not sure if you use SATA or IDE to boot with...or which i7 your using...
I got mine to install but I seem to have to type that whole line in everytime, I can't use SATA DVD and SATA HDD at same time I had to use IDE DVD to get mine to work, also I cant get LAN - SOUND - GRAPHICS to work yet...let me know if you have those working also.
