Hello, people. I really need help - I feel that I am almost there.This is my specs:
Athlon 64 3000+ (sse2 only)
nforce4
via chipset
GeForce 8500GT 512mb
LAN geforce onboard
HDs:
10G IDE - Tiger (10.4.9 tubgirl - works perfect)
80G sata - Vista
200 sata -part1: Leopard
part2: empty (for backup)
Problem:
Install kernell 9.0.0 (because of sse2 only proc), EFI v8 MBR, viasata kext, nforce 2/3/4/5
nforce lan, Zeph's nvinject.
Install go perfect.First boot - kernel panic wiyh EFI.runtime - deleted
Second boot - kernel panic with intelCPUpower... - deleted
Third boot - boots fine, but hangs with grey screen and mouse pointer rolling for hours ( tried to leave overnight - still the same - just hangs)
Already tried: -x -v -f in all combinations
Please, help me to figure out what I am doing wrong and how to fix it. Thanx.

People, please! I am stuck with this problem already a week - google , insanelymac,osx86.scene etc. are not helpful.
I read very carefully what it say in verbose mode and the only wrong thin i see is : "display: family matching failed" what should i change. I have the acces to the instalation throu macdrive, so how can i help him to identify my display. It is analog.
Already tried to connect it with dvi adapter - all the same.
OK, I will try to make a foto.
Out of my head after thet "display" message is says:
nvhal50 loaded and registered, then nvinject - something like 10 lines, evererything ok
and then loginwindow application strted, and then gos to that gray/bleuwish screen with mouse pointer intermittently rolling…
I solved the problem without knowing what is it…:
Maybe it can help others.
Ive installed leo on old IDE (!) HD - did work, but 10G is not enough normal functioning, so just restored image on my big SATA drive - repaired disk and permisions and now I'm able to load it from SATA.everething works (ethernet, sound -ac97), BUTvideo-gf8500gt, 512Mb - when i drag windows, the contents of the window becomes scrambled. The drivers i used - zeph's nvinject+512 extention.
What can it be?

Try removing all nvidia kexts in single user mode (boot with -s, mount -uw /)
NV* Ge* etc in your /System/Library/Extensions folder
btw, it would also help if you could post ALL of the output you get while booting in -v (maybe a camera shot?)
