I need help. I am a pretty big noob when it comes to hackintosh and osx86 stuff, so sorry for any stupid questions. I tried installing Mac OS 10.5.5 using iDeneb v1.3 and it won't boot from the drive I installed it on. I was able to boot from the install disk, and I noticed my graphics card wasn't working that great, but I figured I would install all needed kexts and patches later. So, I made a partition on my hard drive and did everything right as far as partitioning (Mac OS Extended (Journaled), GUID Partition Table), and I proceeded to install with the following:

All Intel Video Card patches
All Network patches
A few applications (which I'm not really sure if this matters) (Firefox, Skype, Kext Utility, OSX86 Helper or whatever it's called, etc.)

So I walked away for about 10 minutes to let it install and I come back to a gray screen with the Mac loader and my computer restarts. I then proceeded to boot from the drive I installed it on and it just kept going back to the boot screen. I downloaded CPUID CPU-Z and this is the information I got from it:

Processor: Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2200 @2.20 GHz
Instructions: MMX, SSE (1, 2, 3, 3s), EM64T
Motherboard: Intel 945GCT-M 2.0
BIOS: American Megatrends version 080012
Chipset: Intel i945G A2
Southbridge: Intel 82801GB (ICH7/R) A1
Graphics Card: Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Revision 2
2 gigabytes of RAM

Please help. I really want Mac OS X and have tried a lot of things (Empire EFI, Rebel EFI, NawCom ModCD) and am getting really irritated.
