So im trying to install snow leopard (iATKOS S3), i must have installed it 40+ times now trying every different combination i can think of using common sense. I can get it running and pretty stable (so it boots after initial installation) but as soon as i change ANYTHING, options, wallpapers or install software, thats when it stops working, constantly time and time again just stops booting. Freezes on boot everytime.

Im just wondering other than verbose mode is there anyway of finding what is causing this crash? or kernal panic i think people call it, whenever in verbose mode it freezes in different places and doesnt ever tell me what is causing it.

Also i find it hates it when i try to enable QE / GL, i managed to enable it once but never again, i think nvnabler doesnt like it so well.
