Field Note #2 @zamdam 2009-04-30

Im trying to get help too, My specs are below.. I dont think there are very many members on this board everyday, so it might take a few bumps to get people to either notice it or respond like this..

I wish I could help, but im in the same boat as you..
Good Luck!

Field Note #3 @xXrkidXx 2009-04-30

i think i have an idea on whats wrong... with the DVD, was the install successful? if so, then maybe you just haven't activated the partition, please include details on where you left off(i.e. what the last thing you were able to do, DVD, using OS, or not even getting there)

Field Note #4 @HappyQuadCore 2009-05-02

welcome to the rubiks cube of installs

Try this
use the iATKOS main system checked by default
use the pc efi bootloader
decrypter is already at appledecrypt no need to change this
smbios EFI is the way to go. Goes hand in hand with the EFI bootloader
kernel none for the EFI install

ACPI Standard modified
keep disabler kext
ps2 check
vga leave it blank. will fix with efistudio post install
system sata intel sata ahci
network try realtek 8139

Realize that I mocked this up after just a quick look up of your motherboard. I am new too, but I am getting the hang of this.
I am going to explain a few things in the next reply, so you can understand better.
Made a couple corrections. This is for an EFI system. Try this and report back.
