I have a computer with the following specs:
Asus P5B
Core2Duo 6400
2GB ram
PCIE Geforce 7600
PCI Geforce 5200
I am trying to find the proper settings to install ideneb on the rig. Tried with the default settings, i got a BSOD. tried with the speedstep kernel, didnt work. Tried with StageXNU and i got to the loading screen but got the stop sign (error) in the middle of the screen.
Can anyone assist me with the proper selections of custom options i have to select?

shouldn't he be able to boot retail? he has core2duo...
or atleast Vanilla?
well you should consult somebody with a little more information than me lol,
Looking briefly @ your mobo specs, you could try to go stock/retail
I see that your p5b has a JMicron HD controller which used to cause errors, but if you're all SATA, give it a go.
You can find a guide ↗ over @ insanelymac that worked for many P5 series, under step 4 you'll find my guide too.
I can only verify things for p5q-em, but the procedure is the same, just hunt down the necessary drivers and give it a try.
^ best solution if you can afford it
have fun with your real mac
