as the title says I'm trying to install this OS X release on my Asus X51L notebook, and the installation works fine. The problem occurs when I try to boot my new OS: it stops on the gray splash screen with the Apple logo on it, and it won't go further. I don't know if this is an hardware compatibility problem or not, however this is my hardware configuration:

SATA Hard Disk
Intel Pentium Dual CPU, T2390 1.86GHz
Video card: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100
The motherboard has a Intel 965 chipset.

This CPU supports the SSE2 set of instruction so this is not the problem. I've tried to boot up OS X in verbose mode using -v and the last two messages before stopping are:

MAC framework successfully initialized
using 10458 buffer headers and 4096 IO buffer headers

I hope somebody can help me through this
Also, if you know of another version that will more probably work on my notebook please let me know too.
Bye
