Thank you so much for the reply.

I've tried out the voodoo kernel with seatbelt but it still gives kernel panic.

And i guess the Intel 845GV isn't very popular.

Moreover as I'm new to this i might not have been able to provide the spec which might help u to tell what settings might be helpful for my comp.

Field Note #1 @Taisto 2009-04-09

Well, what you need is :
- Kernel with SSE2 support cause you have P4
- chipset drivers ( dont know what chipset you have there )
- Seatbelt if you`re going for 10.5.6

The rest is "optional" - it`s safe to install the system without gfx drivers etc. so you can boot and check if it`s working or not, then install missing drivers like gfx or audio.
