After several days of trying to get my Clevo m72sr to have the OSx86 distro read my HD (see history of effort here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20… ↗)"]http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20… ↗), I finally got it to work. However, after installation, my laptop would go into an infinite loop of reboots.
I already tried -v, -f, -x and even cpus=1 and I don't know how to proceed now. Please be advised that what I used for my config was based on the settings listed at osx86wiki for m72sr HCL. (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.5.6/… ↗)
Listed below are my laptop's specifications:

And here is iAtko's custom screen:

If anybody could help, it would be most appreciated.
P.S. Please comment if you want to know more about my unit. Thank you.

As to what I mean by "endless boot", here is how I could best explain it:

It boots up to the point where the DARWIN text is seen and then it asks for a key if you want startup options. If you dont click any key, it continues its boot and then the screen blacks out and the BIOS check runs again, (POS, I think thats what they call it)

If you press a key, for example -v, it loads files as if its gonna install, then the screen goes black and then it returns to the BIOS POS.
