I'm almost there! I have been patiently trying to get different distros to work and never got past the boot screens. This time it's different: after the installation OSX boots and loads the post-installation. After I fill in all the information the desktop is trying to load. Sometimes I see just a blue screen and sometimes the desktop has partially loaded, but I can always move my cursor around. It never boots totally, not even in safe mode.
My hardware:
Asus P5L 1394
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E1800
2x 1GB of Corsair
8600GT 512MB
USB mouse and keyboard
2 SATA disks = 1 for Vista and 1 for OSX

In the iDeneb 1.4 installation I chose:
Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel
seatbel fix
NVinject 512MB

I hope someone can tell me more about this, I've looked all over the net and couldn't find anything similar.
