I've been trying to install OSX on a XEON-based Dell Precision (490, if not mistaken).

It seems to install well (I've tried several times) with either Leo or snow leo but I can't boot for the first time with either. Not even in single user mode (I did try -x as well). And it seems to freeze in random places. I took a picture of the latest one.

Is there anyone out there who could give me some guidance?

PS. I have 2 HDD 500GB connected, SATA0 is the disk I have snow leo installed to. SATA1 is where I've got the previous Windows 7 (and reserved partition) installed.
