Trying to Install a retail copy of OS X 10.5.1 onto a Dell XPS M1210
I seem to be getting the best results using Boot 132, so until someone points me otherwise I will continue.
Here is what happens:
Boot from Boot 132, I tried -v -f and neither helps.
I put in the retail DVD.
I get the Gray screen with the apple and a wait icon.
I wait…
Screen turns black, And that's it.
I tried hooking up and external monitor, I get a very jarbled screen, but I can tell it is MAC, keyboard and mouse dosen't work. If I use a USB mouse it'll work. But the graphics are really bad.
If anyone knows what to do, I'd appreciate it.

@Ianxxxboot with -x then tell us what happens
No change...
Thought I would elaborate a little on my situation in hopes of getting some answers.
I'm using Boot 132. If anyone has a better option please let me know.
It seems to me that maybe some drivers that are required are not being loaded. Such as display drivers, PS2 drivers. I beleive if I can get over that hurdle all will be good.
My intentions are to install OSX as a dual boot along side XP. I have a retail copy of OSX, it's the family pack. Don't know if the family pack part would make a difference.
All help would be appreciated. I have seen many post of people install OSX on the XPS M1210, so I am confident it can be done.
